Personally, I think Biebs closest comparator is Brad Lohaus. Lohaus, like Biebs, would bank mad $$ if he were in today's NBA.

Tom Chambers is who Meyers reminds me of more than anybody

Not a perfect comparison either.... But of course you probably can't find one. I go with Okur as well but Leonard being more athletic.


 
I call him "Meyers Damage" because he gets hit accidentally every game and on the other hand he always give opponents an elbow to the face and then he denies he even touched anyone + he punishes you if you leave him open from 3.
 
I'm becoming more of a Belieber in his passing game. He had a couple of really nice passes in that last game. Maybe he has always had it, but just lacked opportunity.

I think I have read that he played point guard in HS. Now I dont expect to see a Sabos like no look one handed, behind the back pass to a cutter, but he does have nice fundamentally sound passing skills.

Dirk is a pretty lofty comparison, considering he's one of the best in league history. So far, we really haven't seen much of a one on one game from Meyers, just the ability to hit spot up jumpers when he has a decent look. I see more of a better shooting (more athletic) Bill Laimbeer.

I think he's more like a Reaf LeFrentz type player.

I've been biting my tongue for awhile but......linking Meyers and a slimy, little manure maggot like Justin Bieber is just plain wrong. Wrong. Wrong.

I've actually been a few feet away from Meyers before... the resembelence is uncanny.

I've shook Meyers hand down in the Gym at U of I. This was right after his rookie season. Seemed like kind of a douche, but presumably he's grown up a bit since then.

He really has. I was watching him from afar, and he seems to really hold himself better.

(I know that's gonna get some chuckles)
 
The problem with Meyers is hes pretty limited offensively to only being a spot up shooter. But hes damn good at shooting is what makes him intriguing. He has no one on one moves what so ever. You cant give him the ball in the post for example but if hes open from anywhere in the court and he sets his feet, hes damn near automatic. But if you lock him up by being honest with him defensively hes useless. He needs to to develop some one on one, go to moves for him to take that next huge step other than that hes a spencer hawes before he fell off or an athletic version of matt boner..

Except that he also has excellent passing ability, so even if he doesn't have a shot, he's still dangerous. Also, if you watch the games and understand the flow offense, you would know that the offensive sets are designed in such a way as to get him open looks, even when a defender is "honest with him".
 
He's only 23 too, younger than CJ. Give him some time.

Would also like to see some offense run through him on the high post ala Andrew Bogut, in order to make use of his excellent passing abilities.

Your use of absolutes are astounding.

THERE CAN NEVER BE ANY GREY AREA! :MARIS61:

Meyers will score more (I hope), and hopefully rebound more, but block far fewer shots. Early in his career, before injuries, LaFrentz was one of the top 2 or 3 shot blockers in the entire NBA.
