Marcus Thornton vs Jodie Meeks

Push at best. You cant really say either is better IMO.

there is a marginal difference prob.

Thornton gets the slight edge to me based on rebounding, but I guarantee Meeks wins POY for the SEC

I would think would look at record in conference and all....but maybe not.

But Meeks prob. gets it because Kentucky seems to be on national tv every week...more exposure

How sweet would it be if he gets his 40 pointer, lsu crushed kentucky, and meeks goes like 4-20 with like 12 points.

It'll be decided this weekend. There can be only one...

Marcus is up to 20.9 after last night. I'm guessing that Meeks will be hard pressed to shake Mr. Temple come Saturday.

i like marcus but, i'll take meeks anyday.

yup.

Jodie Meeks has unquestionably had the better season from an individual standpoint.

Talent wise, they aren't that far apart. In terms of value, they are about the same.

I like both guys, but Meeks is a bit better.

ok now i'm tired of all this meeks praise. Jodie is good, but hell besides Patterson, they have nobody. Meeks has to shoot all the time jus for them to be competitive. Thornton plays on a more balanced team and doesn't have to be "Kobe" every night. If Marcus played for Kentucky, we'd be talking about Marcus for national Player of the Year honors. Mark my words, Jodie will get drafted higher, but Marcus will have a better career. The dude is a frickin stud and the country will see in the tournament. frick it, if he gets stupid hot, we are in the Final Four. I said it, I got that much confidence in that dude and he hasn't let me down all year. To me, he is the best shooter in the nation and yeah Curry's good but Marcus has been the most consistent scorer against decent competition all year. If it was up to me marcus is a top ten pick.

You guys need to take your LSU glasses off for this one.

Thornton is a very, very poor man's version of Jodie Meeks. I've watched both guys play 5+ times this year. Defenses don't gameplan to stop Thornton...I mean the entire defensive gameplan. That's what defenses do to Meeks and he still gets his average.

Meeks is faster false
Meeks is quicker false
Meeks is stronger way false
Meeks is better conditioned incredibly false
Meeks is a better shooter laughingly false
Meeks is a better free throw shooter True Yea!!
Meeks is a better defender silly arse false

There's a reason Meeks is the better pro prospect and it's not because of the attention he gets.

Allrighty then, now that your post is fixed, a couple of minor points. MT has a higher FG percentage. Also better at rebounds, assists, blocks, steals, assist/t.o. And last but not least, check out NBAdraft.net. Look at the consensus Mock draft board for '09. Yeah, that's MT listed in the middle of the second round. Nope JM is not listed there. Granted I believe that JM will be drafted and he is listed as a middle second-rounder on recent boards I've looked at, just as MT has been all year. The fact is that the consensus of NBA people disputes your farcical post. Thanks for the layup.
