June 1, 201214 yr Meeks is strictly a jump shooter, pretty much like he was in college, and never developed a dribble drive game, as a distributor of the ball and is not a very good defender.

All reasons Harden was a better college player, draft prospect and pro. Some just didn't want to listen back then...

Meeks is a pretty good defender actually, or at least from what I have seen. However Harden is different ten times better overall.
June 1, 201214 yr All reasons Harden was a better college player, draft prospect and pro. Some just didn't want to listen back then... I'm not sure I wan't to look at the thread, because I might have said Meeks back in the debate back then haha. Harden is awesome!!
June 1, 201214 yr I'm not sure I wan't to look at the thread, because I might have said Meeks back in the debate back then haha. Harden is awesome!! Looks like I was smart enough not to post in that thread. I would have probably said Meeks though honestly because I didn't watch many of James Harden's games in college.
June 1, 201214 yr Yeah, I remember that thread and not posting in it strictly because I had not seen Harden play one minute of basketball that season.
June 1, 201214 yr In the college game I could see where Meeks would have gotten a lot of praise and where it could have been a debate. Meeks had a killer junior season, and would have killed it even harder if the coach didn't hate him and wanted him to leave the team or quit shooting. Harden was and is the better pro prospect based on all of the potential he had with his size, skill, and all around game. BUT, as comparing the two as scorers back in those day's it's easy to see where Jodie could stack up. Jodie was the more efficient scorer then, getting a lot of point coming off screens, etc. Harden was obviously the more versatile scorer although his scoring ability was no where near the level it is now. He did show a few glimpses, and had some monster games himself. The potential and the skill were there, he just didn't have everything flowing like he does now. So for those reasons I don't think it's unfair to criticize to much their ability as scorer's in college. However NBA speaking Harden was and will have always been the overwhelmingly favored pro prospect.
June 5, 201214 yr All reasons Harden was a better college player, draft prospect and pro. Some just didn't want to listen back then... It wasn't hard to project who was the better prospect but Harden didn't necessarily have a better college season, and that was the debate, at least the one I was involved in.
June 5, 201214 yr Author It wasn't hard to project who was the better prospect but Harden didn't necessarily have a better college season, and that was the debate, at least the one I was involved in. Meeks was never, and will never be a better player than Harden. That was the debate I was, and still am, involved in...
