Amin Elhassan on the Sports Hangover talking Pels

hield and valentine answers both, but the problem is their potential ceiling is not as high as someone like murray.

dunn has good IQ, but ok shooting and injury history

Murray has good shooting, but ok iq and still needs to develop

Like I say before, listen to Amin and imagine Gentry us talking

IQ is in reference to Tyreke more than anyone

quote:

but looking just at his numbers, he doesn't seem to have a high IQ.

what stats are related to IQ? turnovers i suppose. anything else?

Turnovers, and this theory I have in my mind that there aren't many high IQ guards that are poor free throw shooters.

By god every time someone says something about this team "They must be talking about the guy who only played 20 games". In case you don't know Gordon, Cole, Asik, even Jrue are not high IQ players. Guys who make dumb plays well to often. Jrue is not as bad but at the end of games he unravels and goes hero mode. Amin is a joke at this point he's trying to be more like skip. This team has never lacked shooting we need defense, passing, and IQ.

None of those players are anywhere near Evans in the low IQ department. Take off your rose colored glasses and at least be honest.

Jrue is fine

Cole has low IQ

Asik is just clumsy

Gordon became a stagnant spot up shooter. He is what he is. It's hard to frick that up if you're hitting shots

Of course not but HE DIDN'T PLAY LAST YEAR. If your assessing issues of the team based on the previous season how can you even include him. His BBAll IQ is super low but he is probably the second most talented player on the team. I'm more sick that every off season people seem to keep saying we need to improve our offense more. We don't need to be GSW with 3s to have a good offense. We need defenders bad we haven't had a good defensive season in the past 5 years. We need perimeter defender is the worse way. Dribble penetration has been a constant problem scoring hasn't. Keeping the same team AD will give us 24-27 points, Jrue 15-17, Reke 15-18, Q 8-10, and FA around 12-16. But we have huge holes defensively at the 2,3,and 5 spot.


Also I think if Hield went to the Wolves his defensive potential would be unlocked but not here. Gentry is too offensively oriented and would look more to unlock his offensive potential more.

Murray will be bad defensively but I think he can be Lillard esque offensively so it won't be as big of a problem.

Dunn gives us more of what we need IQ, passing, defense, and toughness.

Gus Kattengel is the worst

Erman is supposed to be the defense whisperer.

I know but Gentry is still the head coach and it's his philosophy they will install which is offense first. Thibs will be beating Defense defense defense into those guys head.
