Meeks can do both, but he has made awkward statements that sound like he isn't happy with the idea of being just a role player.

James Harden, doesn't hurt to have a guy that can check harden off the bench....I'm pretty sure Meeks would get tourched on the regular if he were to match up against Harden.

I dont see any stats or proof to suggest Meeks is a good defender, just another undersized 2 and considering his shooting % overall, I find it questionnable that he has the "shooter" tag associated with him as well.

that's 16... I don't think the lakers want to carry more than needed, which is probably 13. Maybe they'll be looking to move Ebanks and gl0ck for Dwight

Ebanks has yet to sign officially, nor are Sacre/Odom guaranteed roster spots.

According to 82games, he holds opposing SG's to 8.5 PER.
Nobody on his team except Iguadola holds his opponents to such a low PER.
The previous season (2010-2011), he held opposing SG's to 11.5 PER.
The only season in which he allowed opposing SG's to have more than 15 PER was his rookie season (2009-2010).
He's a pretty damn good defender, and has improved his defense every season he's been in the league.

so with said stats, can I expect Meeks to do that to the likes of Manu/Hardens of the West?

Report: C.J. Miles considering Lakers' offer
By Elliott Teaford on July 31, 2012 7:09 PM | Permalink | Comments (0) | ShareThis
Tomorrow's story tonight ...
The Lakers would get deeper and more experienced on the wing if free agent C.J. Miles decides to sign with them this week. He is considering their offer of a one- or two-season contract worth $3 million per year, according to a report Tuesday.
Miles, a 6-foot-6, 222-pound small forward, has drawn serious interest from the Lakers, according to the Salt Lake Tribune. The newspaper, citing an unnamed source, said the former Utah Jazz player could make his decision in the next two to three days.
Miles, an unrestricted free agent, also has met with the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Dallas Mavericks since free agency began July 1, according to our sister paper. In addition, several unnamed teams have offered the Jazz sign-and-trade deals for Miles.
Metta World Peace has started at small forward for the last three seasons for the Lakers, with Matt Barnes serving as his backup for the last two. The Lakers decided against re-signing Barnes, leaving an opening.
Last month, the Lakers signed veteran Antawn Jamison, who can play either forward position, to a one-season deal. They also signed power forward Jordan Hill to a two-year contract to play behind Pau Gasol.
The 25-year-old Miles averaged 8.4 points and 2.2 rebounds in 389 games, including 159 starts, since the Jazz drafted him 34th overall in 2005. He averaged 9.1 points and 2.1 rebounds in 56 games (14 starts) last season with Utah.

based on his fg % doesn't appear he can shoot well but couldn't be any worse than Barnes.
