Last year at this time many on this board thought Meyers was a total flop and not worth ever seeing in a Blazer uniform again. I still liked his potential, but most thought he was pathetic.
Well, a year later and I think this board overall has pretty high hopes for Meyers. 42% from 3, and a 93% clip from the stipe. And although his defense is still sub par, it's really getting drastically better, he holds ground and is even finally boxing out.
Well, he volunteered to come to summer league, perhaps to play or maybe just practice, but he wanted to play with all the young blood and work on his game. We all know a month ago he was already working in the gym with excoach Kim to improve, which is great for his continued development.
So, a few questions. Is he going to play at pf or popularize the stretch C position? What parts of his game do you think he is working on, what should he work on? Will he be a starter this season? What type of production do you see from Meyers.
Personally, I see him starting but not sure if it will be alongside Plumblee or Davis. I'm thinking he would be best at stretch 4 next to Plumblee where Plum could defend around the basket and Meyers wouldn't be so vulnerable. On offense, plumb is a 5 feet and in player, so the two wouldn't crowd each other. Also, Meyers could stretch the floor for Lillard, which is going to be desperately needed. With the loss of 4 starters, I expect a real breakout year for Meyers, averaging 30mpg, and a double double of 18 and 10.
