Guard Jodie Meeks has moved to the Washington Wizards after signing a two-year, $6.7 million contact. Meeks has dealt with several injuries the last three years, which has limited him to a total of 99 games played. Meeks is sure he'll be fully fit when training camp opens in late September.

"I would say I'm 100 percent now. Thank the good Lord that I'm past that," Meeks told CSN Mid-Atlantic. "It's summer time, so my body feels great. I came back from my thumb at the end of the season. I played okay and finished out the season healthy. This summer I got some rest. Now I'm working out again and I feel fine."

Meeks was signed to provide depth off the bench at shooting guard behind Bradley Beal and open up the offense with his ability to make long-distance shots. In his eight years as an NBA player, Meeks has made 37.6 percent of his shots from behind the 3-point line.
