No disrespect meant here and no sour grapes but he will not play much in the NBA and was told so by some GM's. Also no where did I wish him any bad luck or not wish him well, just stating the facts he willo play the majority of his career in Europe and if that is what he is shooting for great, but I believe he has been given bad information on his draft status by some around him. I know most of us wishes we had an oppurtunity to play in Europe but for Jodie this is not what he wanted. After the season starts and he may be on a roster, I will wager in less than 2 years he will be in Europe. Thats all I am saying. If one of my kids makes a mistake he is still my kid so no one is abonding or throwing Meeks out. I would tell my kid if I thought he was making a mistake but I would still love him. Can you all tell the difference now.

If Kelenna Azubuike can make it in the NBA for multiple years, Jodie Meeks can definately do it as well. Meeks may very well spend his entire career in Europe, but you have not made any explanation why it is certain he will fail? Some GM's may have said he won't make it in the nBA, yet his stock has risen and he has impressed numerous teams with his workouts.

It is unanimous that Meeks will either be a late 1st Round or early 2nd round pick. I don't know many teams who would select someone in that range that they thought had no chance of panning out.
