The OFFICIAL JODIE MEEKS THREAD

He finishes very well with contact. He really does just shrug it off and concentrates on finishing his shot.

I like that.

I didn't mind his D Jamie. He was quick to react when he picked off the passes I saw him hawk. He gets down low and has a nice wide stance.

Looks like he has an awesome motor too. For a guy who shoots as much as he does, he doesn't seem to run out of gas or get any less lift on his J.

Pretty good game in a losing efffort
Looked like the only good player on Kentucky tonight.
I saw some of that lunging tonight but besides that he DOES look like a solid defender

Man he shoots a lot though. He's a bit of a black hole. I mean, 17 shot attempts per game? Man that's a lot.

I'm not nearly as warm on him as you guys are.

Dude.
His team is absolutely terrible. Especially without Patterson.
There was a point at which Meeks had 16 points and the rest of his team had 15. Pathetic

Of course. That's what's going to happen when 1 player takes the majority of a teams shots lol.

:yeahthat:

Jodie Meeks is definitely not scared to shoot.

He's 9th in the country in shot attempts at 432 (Which happens to be exactly 100 attempts less than Steph Curry, who is 2nd)

But here's the kicker. For the players in the top 25 in shot attempts, there's only 3 that shoot at a higher percentage than he does. So while he does take a lot of shots, he shoots them at a high percentage. ;)

Couple of questions:

- What has changed to make him such a volume scorer this year from not really being a blip on the radar his freshman and sophmore years?

- Why did he miss so much time his sophmore season?

He was on the radar.
His freshman year he was one of the best freshman in the country and was widely considered to have some of the best potential in the country.
Freshman All-American i think?
Sec All-Freshman

But he was slowed by a sports hernia his sophomore year.
