According to the Chicago Bulls website, UK guard Jodie Meeks will be working out for the NBA team on Thursday.
Here is his group:
- Michael Bramos Guard 6-5 Senior/Miami-Ohio
- Joe Ingles Forward 6-8 Australia
- Ater Majok Forward 6-10 Freshman/Connecticut
- Jodie Meeks Forward 6-4 Junior/Kentucky
- Alex Ruoff Guard 6-6 Senior/West Virginia
- Garrett Temple Guard 6-5 Senior/Lousiana State
NBA Draft Express’ latest mock draft, dated last Thursday, actually has Meeks dropping down to the 48th pick overall.

He’s gone. NBA or Europe, he’s gone. He won’t score nearly as many points he did last season, so it doesn’t make sense to come back to UK.
