OUTLOOK
Matthew Meredith is a really solid player with nice versatility, especially on the offensive end. He may lack a degree of upside but has all the tools to play basketball for a living. Already quite experienced for his age, he has played at the U16 European Championship and for Nürnberg in the 2nd German divison (ProA). He‘ll definitely remain a name in the FIBA Youth circuit.
