players with low basketball IQs

[Pchu]

I am going to list a couple here and please feel free to add them.

This is about low basketball IQ not IQ overall, and not about their ability to play (eg: Jason Collins is pretty useless on offense, but that's due to his low talent level than his basketball IQ)

Also, the player has to be playing in the league right now.

Here are some candidates:

Joey Graham: One of the dumbest player I have seen. He played in college for 4 years, has an amazing physique and very athletic. But he would make at least one play per game appearance where you want to smack him on the head.

Eddy Curry: He has been facing double teams for years now, and he still has no idea what to do. He is good at one thing (scoring in the low post), but he is useless in other facet of the game. And he has been in the league for a while now.

Stromile Swift: 10 million dollar talent, and a 5 cent brain. He often forgets what play he is on, thus the coach would have to yell out to remind him in the middle of the game.

The Knicks.

[CupcakeNoFillin]

Mickael Pietrus. But there will be some games where he'll play amazing.

[Magz50]

The Knicks and Hawks.

[DirtybirdGA]

^Not debatable.

I believe Kwame Brown is the very definition of low basketball IQ.

[kandiking]

gerald green, and the knicks.

[tracey_nice]

The Denver Nuggets

[a-rod]

Mickael Pietrus. But there will be some games where he'll play amazing.

basketball IQ has nothing to do with playing good games or bad games, basketball IQ is about playing the right way.

Gooden thinks his midrange jumper is a lot better then it actually is and he just doesn't feel like playing defense.

Drew Gooden is an ALL NBA MENTALLY SLOW 1ST TEAM MEMBER

[Carl_Monday]

All NBA Mentally Slow 1st Team

PG: Jamal Crawford
SG: Mickael Pietrus
SF: Joey Graham
PF: Drew Gooden
C: Eddy Curry


(It was tough to pick a low-IQ point guard; that in itself is kind of an oxymoron. But I think it might be a 3-way tie between Crawford, Alston, and Telfair. Thoughts?)

Josh Howard and Brandon Bass

Gooden thinks his midrange jumper is a lot better then it actually is and he just doesn't feel like playing defense.

I remember seeing Gooden takes a questionable shot and missed badly. LeBron then give him a cold stare. I am pretty convinced that Bron doesn't miss Gooden too much.

Tim Thomas
Ricky Davis
Antoine Walker

Kwame Brown

Let's just name this the Steve Francis thread and be done with it.

[Jemini80]

the entire knicks roster besides david lee, even though he is slowly turning into a chucker shooting the 20 footer that he supposedly is "automatic" with during practice, and yet misses it consistantly in the game. His FG% would be over 70 if it wasn't for those stupid shots.

[HarlemHeat37]

Jamal Crawford is the guy I think of whenever these kinds of questions come up..he has some of the best skills and pure talent in the NBA, but his shot selection and decision making is disgusting..
