His thread was different from mine. It did not include a poll. It also referenced the preseason scrimmage at Fan Fest.
If we look at per36, Meyers is averaging career bests in rebs, asts, and is right there with the pts.. He's also averaging a career best TREB% of 17.7%. And his Drtg is a respectable 103, with an Ortg of 119. I like what I'm seeing out of Meyers so far this year. He's a solid rotational player. Keep it up big guy!
For Meyers, he's having a great year so far. For a player of his size and supposed abilities, not so much. But the Blazers are stuck with him, and I think Stotts is using Leonard correctly so far... limited minutes, playing him more when he's having success, and yanking him when he's faced with a bad matchup or making a few initial mistakes. The key to Meyer's game is his head: a highly confident Meyers is a good player. A down-on-himself Meyers is a total liability, and thankfully the coaching staff seems to have realized that and is playing him accordingly.
Short answer: yes. Long answer: I think we've finally, at long last, found a player he can play alongside that covers his weaknesses and complements his strengths. Of all the things that Collins can do and has done, turning Meyers back into a useful player may well be the most impressive.
Man he’s playing ok lol it’s sad this is absolutely the best he can play and it’s worth praising smh lol Good for Meyers getting a 40M contract let’s just say that
I gotta be honest..... I don't really care. I'm beyond caring about whether Meyers will or will not develop into something.
