Will Jodie Meeks leave UK after this year?

I disagree, what is your reasoning?

He obviously can shoot that basketball, but he can shoot in a variety of ways. He can shoot from a set position, and does extremely well off of screens. He can create his own shot from the dribble, and has the pullup J perfected. He finishes strong, and is an exc excellent FT shooter.

He is not the best dribbler, and he does not see the floor well at this time, but I remember they said the same thing about Gilbert Arenas, an all-star, and more recently they said the exact same thing about OJ Mayo.

As for defense, he has the size, both height and physical strength to match-up to NBA players. He is a lot faster than many people think, and rarely gets beat down the floor. The one thing that he will have to improve upon is his help Defense, which many don't realize is the most important ability for defenders in the NBA, but Jodie has the traits to be taught this.

He has too much upside to not be an NBA player. How good, only time will tell, but think he can be a 15-20 minute guy, who will average 8-10 points. If he finds an improvement in Defense, I think he can be a good Pro. Not sure of your definition of a good Pro, he will not be a NBA superstar, but can he have a career as good as Bogans, yes. Bogans is considered a Good Pro.
