The Kings need as much talent as they can get, and Monk has what it takes to be one of the best players in this draft class. This is the most likely scenario for Monk, in my opinion, so long as nothing crazy happens before the draft.

There would also be the added angle of yet another Kentucky player joining the Kings, which would form an interesting narrative around a team that is rebuilding after the loss of DeMarcus Cousins.
