Jodie

Meeks

A 10-year NBA veteran, Meeks is currently playing for USA Basketball’s Men’s AmeriCup Team in hopes of going out on a high note. “I’m young, but in basketball, I’m a little older,” Meeks said. “I’m no spring chicken anymore. But that’s OK. I can still move, I still feel like I can still play. And obviously I’m out here doing well. So for my career, it’s definitely been a good one and this will be the icing on the cake.” Meeks averaged 9.3 points and 1.0 triples for his career, hitting 37% from deep while appearing for seven different teams.

In addition to Delaney, who last played in the NBA during the 2017-18 season with the Hawks, Jodie Meeks, Arron Afflalo and DeVaughn Akoon-Purcell are also participating in the workout. Golden State currently has 13 players under guaranteed contracts for the 2019-20 season but that figure does not include Alfonzo McKinnie, who is a candidate to begin the season as a starter.

The Clippers and Hornets have already expressed interest in Meeks this offseason. Meeks’ NBA career started with the Bucks, who drafted him in the second round in 2009. He was briefly a member of the team last season, but was released when his 25-game suspension was served. Milwaukee currently has the maximum of 20 players under contract during the offseason, so they’d have to cut someone in order to sign Meeks.

Meeks is a career 37.3% shooter from distance and is capable of serving as an emergency depth kind of guy on an NBA roster. He should land a contract somewhere, but it’s unlikely he’ll have fantasy value.

With Kawhi Leonard, Pascal Siakam and Patrick McCaw all out, the Raptors had some minutes available to guys like Meeks who won’t see much time when the roster’s at full strength. The veteran guard made the most of his opportunity, shooting 66.7% from the field and also grabbing five rebounds in his 28 minutes on the floor. Meeks doesn’t have much fantasy value, but if the Raptors continue to rest guys ahead of the postseason he could see an increase in minutes on occasion.

Meeks will provide some emergency depth to the Raptors’ backcourt, but he won’t be an impact player in fantasy hoops. Leave him on the wire.

This is Meeks’ first chance back in the league since he served a 25-game suspension for violating the NBA/NBPA Anti-Drug program. The 31-year-old SG is a career 37.2% shooter from deep and will audition to take some of the minutes vacated by Delon Wright and C.J. Miles.

Meeks’ 25-game suspension for violating NBA/NBPA Anti-Drug program comes to an end on Saturday night after the Bucks play the Spurs. Milwaukee will cut him loose in order to keep their roster at 15. Meeks has been a solid, consistent shooter throughout his career and should draw interest from other NBA teams.

Meeks is suspended for 19 games of the 2018-19 season, so it could be tough for him to find another contract. If he does find another minimum-level deal elsewhere, he’ll still need to serve that 19-game suspension with his new team. He’s irrelevant in fantasy hoops.

If Iguodala can’t play, Jodie Meeks would likely get another start in his place. Evan Turner has also been more effective from a fantasy standpoint without Iguodala in the lineup, but we won’t get official word on Iguodala’s availability until some point on Friday. Owners will need to check back for an update before that time.
