Meeks was a steadying force for the NCAA champion Tar Heels. His DEFRTG was 4.4 points better than the UNC team DEFRTG. He is dependable as a paint scorer and rebounder. Meeks averaged 12.5 points and 9.5 rebounds per game. He  worked hard to slim down over his four seasons at North Carolina. He never shot below 54% Fg in his four NCAA seasons. Meeks does not shoot the three-ball at all (one attempt in four seasons). He had more career turnovers than assists. ...Meeks' standing reach is 8'10" (a half-inch longer than Miles Plumlee.) ...Meeks has a 30.5" max. vert. (same as Chris Kamen and Brook Lopez.)  ...It seems doubtful that Meeks will be drafted but he might sneak into the NBA as an undrafted free-agent. We think he is the kind of player that can score using his big body to get angles that lead to him going to the free throw line.

Good advice: In 2012, the 32nd pick in the NBA Draft was Tomas Satoransky. We advised, "Draft Draymond Green."
