Usually that's the making of an amazing talent, AD, KD, amongst many others who played guard then "grew up" and had the guard skillset to go with it.
For an NBA player Meyers looks so uncomfortable on the basketball court that sometimes it makes me cringe. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone brain lock that hard playing basketball. For the record I don’t hate the guy, I’d never boo my own player when he comes into a game and I would have loved to see him succeed... I just don’t think he’s a good basketball player. Seems like an “ok” guy and seems to work hard, but basketball doesn’t really seem to be his thing, he’s just a big athletic guy.
It wasn't his height that gave that impression. He had a light bulb-shaped head, and a baby face in the early years till he grew what little facial hair he could. Looked like a poet.
He’s a good guy and impossible for me to root against, but he needs an upgrade to his basketball processor. His works at the equivalent speed of an old Atari game system as compared with today’s computing speeds.
I think you're on to something...Charles Dickens had that same blank expression..they both probably needed spectacles
What’s funny is I was able to watch the game today and he reminds me of someone. I couldn’t place I at first. But he looked stoned. Then I realized he reminded me of smooth sleepy Sam Perkins. Not his game. His face and demeanor. He might have ice enough in his veins too keep him chill in very intense moments. I like it.
I think his legacy, or a part of it anyway, will end up being what if Kim Hughes hadn't been fired? They had a good relationship and he seemed to coax some real improvement from him. Meyers is basically the same player since Hughes left...sorta flatlined.
