He's a terrible defender, he averages 6 turnovers per game, and he gets next to zero assists with a very good post player on his team. Yeah, he rung up a very bad defense with a hot night. That does not put him anywhere near guys who actually make their team better instead of dominate the ball at the expense of his teammates. 3979113 2009-01-15T14:05:48-05:00 1 KY LevelHeadedFan Lexington 669479 He does it all? lmaoHe does nothing but gun all season long.

It was completely obvious to anyone watching that he scored within the offense most of the time and gave it up when he should have. He only shot the ball 22 times, and two of those we as the clock was going to zero and he heaved desperation shots, one at the half and another for the shot clock. 3996530 2009-01-15T05:06:57-05:00 http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/109/758/thumb/basketball.jpg 3 AZ Sammy333 Phoenix 110058 24 JAMES HARDEN!!!!! 3989162 2009-01-15T00:23:22-05:00 9 NC droogan1 High Point 492103 23 I don't know about Meeks, but you sure as hell forgot to mention THE best college player thus far; Jeff Teague! 3988026 2009-01-14T23:14:36-05:00 1 OH King Ghidora Franklin Furnace 666659 22 Meeks can shoot over you or drive around you and he creates his own shots. Those are the same set of skills that made MJ what he was. I'm not comparing the two. I'm just saying Meeks has the tools. He's incredibly quick and he has moves that leave jock straps laying all over the court. Not to mention he broke the UK trey record from the extended trey line. He plays fantastic defense (despite what some might say) and he does a lot of the ball handling chores because UK's main weakness is at the point. If Liggins develops into his talent level UK could go deep in March. They have the inside threat in Patterson which draws a lot of defenders off of Meeks. Shooting over 70% from the field will do that for a team. Meeks shoots a great percentage and he doesn't force shots. He lets the game come to him. That's the desciption of a monster player IMO. He will go far and do well and so will the Cats with Meeks and Patterson leading the way. And UK has other talent. It just hasn't blossomed yet. The SEC better watch out because UK is just now growing into it's own and things can only get better. Gillispe jokes about waiting for a third scorer but they can find one at any time because there are talented players on the team besides Meeks and Patterson. If they do the sky's the limit. 3987597 2009-01-14T22:31:01-05:00 8 CA Gary LLL Pacific Palisades 656894 21 moluhtov -- based on his post, my guess is moriaty doesn't live in beverly hills, just knows the zip code from the TV show, and filled it in as his home zip code when registering with this site. he's more likely to be living in his parents' basement and hasn't quite reached puberty. maybe it's just wishful thinking (on my behalf) that someone from my neck of the woods (in southern california) wouldn't post something so obviously incorrect. thanks for the rebuttals, kentucky fans.

Those mostly come from the fact he is the main ball handler of the team anyway. Liggins still has more turnovers than Meeks and he rarely plays. 2. He's 4th best on the team in assists, Kentucky is 10th in assists as a team. Still not amazing but not that bad either considering no one player has a tremendous amount of assists personally. 3. Tennesse was the top scoring team of the SEC and 6th best in the nation, Meeks had no problem guarding their players. The 72 points that Kentucky kept them to is the lowest they have scored at home this year. Meek's defense is underrated he is really quite good. His stamina is also to be respected. 3983784 25 <div class="photo_container image_right" style="width: 300px;"> <div class="photo"><img src="http://img.fannation.com/upload/si_blog_post_images/paint.meeks.ap.jpg" alt="Paint" width="300" height="400" /></div> <div class="photo_attributes" style="text-align: left;">Tennessee had no answer for Jodie Meeks.<br />AP</div> </div> <p>Does <strong>Jodie Meeks</strong> belong in the Player of the Year discussion?</p> <p>The junior guard's 54-point explosion against Tennessee was easily one of the top performances of the season across the hoops landscape.
