Wait for it....

I brought him up earlier in this thread as someone I'd most definitely punch a baby in the face or throw an old woman down the stairs for the Jazz to get. He is not ready to make the jump to the NBA, however. Still needs another year in college. He's still got some strides to make on the mental side, as well as learning how to play. But the facts are he's got the ideal frame for a center. Great athleticism, and excellent skill offensively. He's got great post moves, range out to 18 feet and can pass. However, he can't do all of that consistently quite yet. He can block shots, but he's still got a long ways to go defensively playing every possession.
I'm as crazed a fan for my alma mater as I am the Jazz and have watched every game. Meyers has made some improvements this year, but he still has a bunch of lapses where he gets too overcome with emotion (whether its not getting touches when he's open, bad calls from the refs, cheap shots from opponents, etc) and he takes himself out of the game. He's also been dominant at times.
Odds are he'll leave because he'll be a lotto pick, but he won't be a solid contributor in the NBA for at least a few years. But he has the tools to be an NBA All-Star if he continues to work hard (and he does have a great work ethic).
He's my favorite Illini since Dee and I'm praying he stays because he could be unstoppable next year with a year of college experience under his belt. Last year, his true frosh season, is a wash because he barely played.
