Jodie Meeks has another strong summer league performance

Jodie Meeks followed up on his 14 point debut for the Milwaukee Bucks in Vegas NBA summer league play by scoring 16 points in an 80-69 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Meeks was the second leading scorer, also playing the most minutes on his team, forming a dynamic back court duo with fellow rookie Brandon Jennings. Jennings scored 23 points to go along with 8 assists, but at one point was benched for showboating by Kelvin Sampson, who was coaching the Bucks team, on the way to a 7-18 shooting performance.

Meeks scored his points on 7-14 shooting, also hitting two free throws. He only attempted one three point shot, which shows that criticisms of Meeks as a one dimensional scorer may not be as founded as some thought. So far Jodie has scored 30 points in 2 games, and only 3 of those points have come from beyond the arc.

For all you Card fans, Juan Palacios played 8:33 in the game, scoring 1 point to go along with 2 assists and a rebound.
