Yea he only played 11 games at less than full strength

[Slam]

His freshman year he was one of the best freshman in the country .

9ppg, 3rpg and 1apg made him one of the best freshman in the country?!?!

Poor game for Meeks today against Tennessee.

14pts (4-14, 0-7, 6-6), 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals.

I only saw the 1st half, but he really struggled to get open and rather than breaking his defender down by using his dribble (does he have handles? I haven't seen much evidence of that) he ended up being pushed further and further out. He took a lot of shots under pressure in hopes of getting something going, but he was stone cold.

Seems to try and force his offense rather than letting it come to him? Also, he's pretty much strictly a catch and shoot sort of guy so if his catch and shoot isn't falling, he's a little restricted.

Also, he gambles on D a lot. He picks off a couple of passes for steals and back away points, but he also gets burnt quite often.

8/3/3/0 in Kentucky's second round loss to LSU

He's staying in the Draft. If we had to go with a PF with our 1st round pick, I'd love to try and grab Meeks with #40.

I'd be ok using #54 on him. At #40 I'd rather someone like Christmas. Ideally though Adrien or Gibson at #40 and Meeks at #54 would be great with me.

Dont think he'll make it to #54 Slam. He's listed at #43 on Ford's Big Board, so maybe, but I think he'll be gone.

You know how much I like both of those players. With that said, Meeks is the better player and would be good next to DJ. Christmas would be good next to Ray.

Depends on if you want an overall athlete who will flat out score and provide a spark, or a guy who will rely mostly on spot up shooting on kickouts
