June 3, 200917 yr Average athleticism? Maybe athleticism is a measure of vertical jump? I would think Jodie Meeks would have a good, maybe not great, vertical jump. That is comparatively speaking. As far as footspeed, I doubt if any recent Wildcat has the Point A to Point B speed of Jodie Meeks.
June 3, 200917 yr Gotta love Thabeats nearly 9'6" reach. The kid can almost dunk on his tippy toes, hell if his feet are big he may very well be able to.
June 4, 200917 yr The assessment seems pretty on the money w/Jodie. I also think that this kid is an excellent athlete so I would argue the "average" athleticism and I would also argue that the kid has a tremendous work ethic and a huge heart. Both are intangibles you cannot teach and that can help at the next level! Compared to the NBA, I think Jodie has just average athleticism. You don't see him doing the athletic moves of a Kobe, Lebron, McGrady, or the Josh Smiths very often at all. Vince Carter is one of the most athletic players I've ever seen in college and the NBA and Jodie is no where near as athletic as him. I'm not taking anything away from Jodie at all, I'm a HUGE Cats fan(note my screen name) and Jodie fan and I pray that he comes back but I agree with that assessment. He does have average athleticism for the NBA.

June 4, 200917 yr Bench is 185. Haha you knew that's the only stat I really cared about.:lol: I didn't know if they might use 225 like the NFL combine.
June 4, 200917 yr Bench is 185. And Kevin Durant could not do that... wow. Do not get me wrong, he is one of the best in the league, or will be soon, but wow...
June 4, 200917 yr You are kidding me! WOW! Looks like Tarzan, lifts like Jane. I have no idea how Meeks tests. But I'm pretty sure that the 185 reference is to the test itself (number of reps at 185) rather than Meeks' performance. If I'm wrong I stand corrected. http://www.topendsports.com/sport/basketball/testing-nba-draft.htm
June 4, 200917 yr According to the link in the first post, Meeks had 14 reps. Middle of the pack or slightly better.
June 4, 200917 yr According to the link in the first post, Meeks had 14 reps. Middle of the pack or slightly better. Haha I can out bench all of them. HOWEVER that's just about all I've got. Unless we want to compare weight, then I'm in the lower end of the group bust still ahead of some of those "light weights". :jump: I wonder where I rank on the draft boards.:clap:
June 4, 200917 yr Exactly. No matter what anyone say an NBA type athlete and what people consider athletic are 2 totally different things. :thumb: Meeks isn't exceptionally athletic by NBA standards.
