Meeks has essentially the same physical attributes as Vance Jackson, but my impression is that he has basketball IQ both offensively and defensively that covers weaknesses, especially in a team oriented defensive scheme.  This was a fast paced defensive pressure game and he kept up and wasn't out of place.  He crashed the offensive boards, competed, and seemed careful with the ball.  His 3 point attempts were in the context of the offense when the game fell into offensive sets, (no heat checks or hero shots).  If I was watching him as a highly touted prospect we were interested in, I would have come away satisfied.  I had never heard of him before, so it's clear he made an impression.  Not trying to overstate that he would be in the game as a designated shooter (like Polley) who gives you solid overall play.  Not projecting him as UConn's missing link, just a solid role player, (who takes and makes shots).   Obviously this is a 1 game evaluation, but I don't think I was just seeing a player that was just on a hot streak.  He is complimentary with star players and contributes.
