The OFFICIAL JODIE MEEKS THREAD

[JamieMcNeill]

so i watched the Kentucky vs Tenn game to watch patrick patterson but Meeks stole the show. I mean 54 points 8 rebs and 4 assists and the fg percentage and 3point percentage were ridiculous? and hes already averaging 25 so this isnt a one time thing. But hes not all offense, hes an excellent defender with good size.

Read my summary on the Patterson thread

[Slam]

I've only seen him that one game when I was watching Patterson and he didn't really stand out to me then, of course he didn't score a zillion points in that game like he did last night!! I'll have to keep and eye out for him.

From what I did see he seems nice, but more a complimentary player? Didn't seem to have a great handle. I thought he looked a little on the small side too?

I'll have to see him a few more times before I can form an opinion though.

What NBA player/s would you say he reminds you of Jamie?

How about Rashard McCants as a comparative?

Honestly not sure what NBA player to compare him to but hes not small. Not big either but hes 6' 4" and he actually ran point some so i thought his handles were pretty good. I want to see him a scorer more and maybe less of a shooter in more games from here on out. I didnt see a lot of drives but he sure knows how to get open and even created for himself off the dribble some last night

And he's big. He's not slight like Evans. This guy is built heavily, so he can handle punishment

i like the term solid

He's the hot topic right now, so I thought I would check him out again because last time I watched him I was a little under whelmed.

I'm watching the replay of the Kentucky Vs Arkansas game. It's a bit unfair because I already know he goes for 40+.

He seems a little short to me. He is frigging strong though. Just got a fast break and the defender tried to wrap him up from behind by throwing his arms right around him but Meeks just shrugged him off like he was nothing and easily made the "and one" play.

He picked off a pass before and speed away throwing down a nice two handed jam off two feet getting up really high.

He sure does like to shoot the rock!! Pretty much every time he's touched it he;s shot it - especially behind the line. Some times with 2 or 3 defenders on him (rather than passing to the open man).

He does have a very pretty J though.

He reminds me a LOT of Dequean Cook when he was at Ohio State.

He's no doubt another name to add on the long list of SG's we should look at this draft - and would be up near the upper end of my board.

To these two points

1. His d has been a knock on him as he overplays the steal alot
2. I hesitate to label a player as a "ball hog" in college since a lot of college players play on teams where they are "the shit" on their team and feel obligated to try to take over

Welcome to the light my friend!

I wish he didn't play so selfish at times, but I have faith that'll stop when he hits the NBA
