Will Jodie Meeks get more playing time?

[doozyj]

Meek's is terrible, I think Brown had it right with this guy.

[MilBucksBackOnTop06]

yes he will surely get extended minutes. so will jamison.
morris and blake, not so much

I agree. Yes he will in D'Antoni's system he will fit perfectly. So will Darius Johnson Odom when he returns back from his stint in the D-League.

Yes he is a "great" defender and wide open shooter who needs minutes to get and keep his rhythmn or he will get lost in the shuffle.

He gets streaky when you do not play him in a set role. He is a 7-9 man rotation guy on your team.

Meeks will be alright, We were horrible at using him last game, He shouldn't be handling the ball, But instead should be getting the ball in the right spots at the 3 point line and shoot. Nash + D'Antoni with better floor spacing will help with this.

[Father Time]

Maybe, as long as he never dribbles the ball again.

The team didnt use him wrong, the boy is like 18 percent from 3. He needs to step up his game bottom line.

Disappointing so far but I think with Nash and dantoni he can find his groove (offensively). He's streaky as many shooters are but it's still early. I remember reading in SI (quoting synergy?) he had the highest % for spot up shooting in the league last season. We certainly need to give him a chance with the options we have.

i agree! but there's a certain point where a player needs to show improvement. Meeks either brings it pronto or he's a bust this year. No time for many chances. Personally if he was my player.. he'll have till close to all-star break and if he's not showing any production.. ADIOS M**** F****!!!!

[LateRoundFlyer]

Seems like for every good move Mitch does, he counters with a mistake. Though I won't burn him up over it, but Meeks is awful. I'd rather see Devin get his minutes or hell go get Glock back at least he could stick a few shoots.

streak shooters need confidence. not playing the guy probably won't do him much good considering he's a guaranteed contract and we'll probably need him in the POs

That makes a lot of sense... shame on you!

Exactly, I still want to see him play with Kobe, just standing at the 3 line in a Sasha/Radman role... last game he was dribbling, passing, etc etc... BAD news if it comes down to that.

When Nash, even Blake come back, it will be better than this. We had to play no PGs out there half the time last game

[DonJay21]

Im very disapointed with this guy, he is a walking trunover machine. All the other team has to do, is force him to put the ball on the floor, or let him make a post entry pass, and its a turnover. You can bet on it. We have a long season, I hope he and the Lakers turn it aorund quickly.

[Compton310]

here's the problem we never had an spot up running off screen type shooter so we dont know how to properly use him... example look at the game closing shot from green last nite.. thats understanding your personal an putting him in positions to succeed.. its called good coaching fellas i think he'll be fine....... nash meeks kobe twan howard to close the games wit MD... who can match up??

[Gek]

We should definitely be worried, Nash and D'Antoni don't know how to utilize shooters.

Sarcasm right?

No... definitely not sarcasm

[laduane1]

Meeks makes his shots, he will get more playing time. He has really not shown that yet in his limited minutes.

[AdonisDeMarion]

I think Hill will play a good role now that everyone knows what he can do. Hill will do great in the pick and roll, his energy reminds me of the way Marion played with Nash.
