I got the idea to look at Meeks while reading an article about shooters in the NBA. The 2013-14 Jodie Meeks gets a 225.923 rating on the JPPI, enough to make him the sixth man over CJ Miles on the NBA Value team. His new contract, however, will put him making about $6 million rather than $1.5 million. I think Jodie is a $4 million player but 6 is not bad. For $6 million I would take the $2 million CJ Miles but the rankings go off of the previous season since who knows, he might play better with more money. Meeks is a pure shooter with quick hands which makes him good at getting steals. Overall, Meeks is the perfect sixth man to come off the bench and create a surge of energy that propels the team to a win. As a starter he will need to develop his passing and hustle game a little more but I am not going to sleep on him... Could be something special in the making, even if he does not become a star NBA player he can have a lengthy career as a Ray Allen-esque off the bench shooter.
