Meyers has a great touch, even around the basket. He just needs more time and opportunities and I'm fairly confident he will develop that post game. Honestly the only part of his game that I'm not sure he'll ever get is rim protection.
I agree that he'd be a bad 6th man - but that's neither here nor there with letting him replace Kaman. By then we should have a wing as our 6th man.
I don't think you can say anymore that Meyers has "no post game". I wholly agree that it's not "6th-man worthy", and that you can't rely on it, and that it would be a mistake to park him in the paint and let him go. However, just in the last 3 games he's shown multiple post moves, hook shots, banked hook shots, give-and-go's, etc. He's not McHale/Olajuwon, but he's not a shining beacon of abject incompetence.
I think for Meyers what the team has said about him in practice is finally translating to him in an actual game. Kaman has been great for his development.
It certainly does appear that the best part of bringing in Kaman may end up being the work he's been doing with Leonard.
I wondered about that when I heard we signed him; he's Kim Hughes's greatest success as an NBA coach.
Super athletic, runs like a deer, Hard worker, coachable, Good passer, great shooter, Learning NBA defense and needs to play in actual games. They've been saying it all along, Kaman, Freeland, Hughes, Stotts. I'm waiting now for CJ to live up to his hype, they've said the same thing about Crabbe and McCollum.
