So many negative things about Poku. Scouts saying Poku has a below highschool basketball IQ. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
His problem is not IQ he's actually a above average passing player(normally a sign of a high IQ player), it's a complete lack of motor/toughness (being injured) has all the talent in the world just does nothing with it. Like he's got great timing on blocking shots but goes whole games without bothering to contest a a single one. I don't think Poku is a good fit in Miami way to soft. I don't think I have seen him make a hard move to the rim like more than 5 times in his whole career.
Passing the ball is not IQ, that just a skill set like shooting. There are stupid passers. Understanding plays/system and understanding how to use your ability to manipulate plays to success is IQ. I havent watched the kid, but that is what I was told. That he came in the league and was very low and behind in understanding the game for his age. And I heard this a while ago.
I never watched the kid. However, from what i was told I am not surprised he was released. The only reason I know who he is because of the person telling me this was so adament about this kid bad IQ, it was kind of shocking.
