Draymond Green knows big-time scoring performances as well as anyone. He plays with Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson, the latter of which just went for 60 in 29 minutes a few weeks ago. So when he takes notice, you've done something.
Malik Monk, to say the least, did something Saturday night.
He dropped a Kentucky freshman record 47 points (check out the highlights) on North Carolina in what was by far the wildest game we've seen this year.
And Draymond gave him a Twitter standing ovation:
This young boy Malik Monk is an animal!!! Easy 47 sheesh!!!

You simply had to see this performance to believe it. Monk was beyond sensational. Hell, North Carolina's Justin Jackson had 34 and no one's talking about him. We throw around the phrase instant classic a lot, but this game really was. Two absolute heavyweights going back and forth all night long, until Monk hit the winning three in the waning seconds.
Monk definitely turned heads Saturday night.
Not just Draymond's, but probably a lot of NBA scouts' too.
