[green]

High TO's. What were his conference averages? Who did he score 50 against? How many shots did he take? Did his team win? What was the score? Wingspan? Who was his coach? Overall record? Teammates?

On the surface, he sounds top 10.

 

[green]

FG%?

 

[Dr. Jones]

Overall FG% 47.

 

[Dr. Jones]

His team won. He put 54 on Tennessee at Tennessee.

 

[orangello]

You don't think I know who you're talking about? I'm hurt.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Choose.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Difference in averages between conference play and non-conference is negligible.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Averaged 15 shot attempts per game.

 

[green]

I'm liking him even more. I'm am also showing how little I know about college basketball.

His TO's really worry me. Quickness? Is he too slow to play in the NBA.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Here's the mystery player... but I am sincerely curious where you guys think he would be mocked if coming out this year.

So I googled him and I thought you were talking about Kevin Murphy! I thought, well there goes any shred of credibility I have. Ha ha.

Where did Meeks to?

He plays for the Lakers. Went #41 in 2009.

 

[green]

So, why did he drop? Athleticism?

 

[Dr. Jones]

No.. he's a great athlete. I think he was just viewed as too one-dimensional. Defense was average and he was more of a spot up shooter. Could score the ball with ease... but that was about it.

 

[Hotdog]

I had him pegged as an NBA player when he was coming out. He's not as good as I thought he would be though, but can still play.

 

[green]

We need lots of players like this next year.

 

[Dr. Jones]

He's one player I was disappointed to see go pro. Him as a senior backcourt teammate with john wall and UK would likely had gone undefeated.

It's sad when these kids are surrounded by people that don't have their best interests.
