Jodie Meeks


I read an article saying that the only reason meeks stayed in the draft was because he was guaranteed by a team that they would chose him, signs point to the nuggets being that team because he only did one workout which was for new jersey, and denver was there to scout prospects. I don't know much about him but i could see us trading a future second round pick for him, instead because 34 might be too high for him. What do you guys think?

heres where i read it:

Meeks can stroke...

I have seen him play, dont let his numbers in college fool you hes not a 50 point scorer. Him and Pat Patterson were the only players on that team that could dribble the damn ball so he took 5 million shots a game. Solid shoot er off the bench i think is his pro career. I would rather have Pat Mills though

Sounds like pure speculation

Guaranteeing somebody a non-guaranteed contract?

True... but

if he goes undrafted mayb well put him on our summer league team…

Meeks can shoot

Adding another 3-point shooter won’t hurt, but we already have someone that plays the same position (cough cough jr smith) that likes to jack up 3’s , and we just got a shooting guard last year in sonny weems, so why pick up another shooting guard. Still prefer to see if we can get victor claver, and maybe trade for rodrigue beaubois…really wouldn’t mind doing a sign and trade with kleiza for one of those players.

Well

We have no idea if Sonny Weems can even play. Personally, I think Meeks is a better talent than Weems, so I’d take him with the 34th with the intention of letting him compete with Weems for the Dahntay Jones’s spot on the team (assuming he isn’t brought back, of course).

Good post

I agree about Meeks, nice player but way out of line to use pick #34 on him. I hope the Nugs would not do this unless trading down for more picks or buying a later pick. There’s probably going to be a good PG left at 34. Fingers crossed for Patty Mills or Darren Collison.

60 Overall

Chad Ford currently has Meeks as Mr. Irrelevant number 60 overall pick

Safe to say ...

taking him at 34 would be a bit of a reach then.

THE STIFF LIST (as of 11/4 by Nate)

STIFF #1: DAN HAWKINS
After predicting 10 wins for his club before the season the Buffs find themselves just 2-6 with four games to play. To add injury to insult ... former 5-star prized recruit Darrell Scott announced he'll be transferring to UCLA after just 1 1/2 seasons at CU. Another black eye for the program and hopefully the final nail in Hawk's coaching coffin.  

STIFF #2: CHRIS PAUL/RAJON RONDO FEUD
Each player was assessed a technical foul after refs had to separate the two in Boston's 97-87 win Nov. 1st. After the game the arguing and posturing continued. As Celtics' coach Doc Rivers pointed out, the 180 lb. fight rule should be invoked allowing the two to scrap because, "It's impossible for them to hurt each other." Maybe Paul should focus more on his teams' 1-3 start and not on the opposing teams' point guard's ability to, "respect me as a man."

STIFF #3: ESPN NBA HEADLINES
The Nuggets headline today reads, "Nuggets sink Pacers to avoid taking first loss." Compare that to the Suns' line reading, "Suns remain unbeaten, hand Heat first loss." Thanks for the backhanded compliment Worldwide Leader. At least Yahoo! Sports got it right, "Nuggets off to best start in 24 years." Maybe I'm being too picky.

STIFF #4: STEVE NASH'S MINUTES
When has it EVER been considered a good idea to play a 35 year-old (36 yrs on February 7th) point guard 36.8 minutes per game? Nash is on pace to average a career-high in the minutes department. And while Nash has averaged 77 games played in five full seasons with the Suns, his chronic back issues could rear its ugly head out early at this rate.

STIFF #5: PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS
Sure starting the season off 2-3 is no big deal, but when head coach Nate McMillan begins openly questioning the teams' effort to the media ... look out.
