Smart move on his part. He should go ahead and see what he needs to work on, he can always come back. (See: three of UNC's starting five from last year)

Honestly, if he doesn't leave for the draft now, it's a bad move. He'll never get drafted higher, never get more money, ..etc

Yep, unless he thinks he can become more consistent and learn to drive I think he should go. IMO he would improve coming back, but this class will give him the best opportunity to get drafted higher. Regardless, I don't think he makes it in the association.

He has zero shot of being drafted in the first round this year. If he comes back and demonstrates he can handle the ball and attack the basket, he will be next year.

After watching Meeks several times this year, it would appear that he really isn't the type of player that thrives in the Calipari dribble drive motion. He seems like more of a Sallie type player that simply parks it in a corner and waits for someone else to drive, draw, and dish. And Kentucky doesn't exactly have that type of player that can create on their roster. Hat, do you think this is maybe why is considering leaving?

If anything, it should lead him to stay. He'll get his opportunities to attack the basket, which is what NBA people want to see if he can do.

He's obviously athletic, just didn't convert when he took it to the hoop. I feel like I heard he has short arms. Apparently this is a big minus too.

I can't see anyone who isn't in the first round of this draft going in it next year..

You would know though I guess

Any junior that did not submit for evaluation is not planning on going the league. There is nothing to be lost by submitting for evaluation your junior year.

Players at the vast majority of big time programs don't have to get a formal evaluation. Their coaches just have to pick up the phone to get the information they need from the NBA. Players know that. That's why some guys get NBA players and some don't.
