Lowest IQ Player Ever

I will throw Monta Ellis in the mix. I hated him when he was playing on the Mavs and I absolutely hated him when the Pacers signed him. He made so many dumb decisions all the time....

Ray Felix or the young Javalle McGee. Tossup

My picks are JR, Javale, SuperCoolBeas

I’m answering this as biggest disparity between talent and BBIQ

No mention of Kwame Brown yet?

Kwame, Artest, JR Smith, Josh Smith, Javale, all had good moments on winning teams.

Players like Anthony Bennett and Noah Vonleh, who can't grasp simple BBIQ concepts besides having NBA bodies and skill, should be the at the forefront.

Gilbert Arenas was a special kind of stupid.

What skills does Bennett have, he is awful. I am not saying his BBIQ is good, but its not like its his only issue, dude is just flat everywhere, talent, skill, everything.

Not sure who has the lowest bball IQ but after watching a few interviews/podcasts with him the lowest real IQ to me is Nick Young
Straight airhead. Ditto for D. Rose
There was one player who's voice and way of speaking made him sound like an artard but I cant remember who it was

Facts. You're right his IQ was high. But don't forget, emotional intelligence is a big indicator of intelligence as well, though I understand how this thread is titled IQ and not EQ.

Maybe it’s not IQ but is eq or self awareness....but I just want to put draymond

Naming one of the smartest players in this league as a possible answer in this thread says more about your bball IQ then his. He’s a winner and that has been proven countless times. This is especially funny because you spent all day yesterday defending Westbrook, who actually has a poor bball IQ thar lags well behind his talent level.

Draymond is probably heading to the hall of fame too, so maybe, just maybe, a player with 3 allstar games, 2 All-NBA teams, 2 Olympic Gold medals, 3 titles and a DPOY trophy was/is a star? Isn’t that how this works? Call me crazy.

Guess I’ll call you crazy...cause take Dray off GS Warriors and dude a rotation starter. No player had benefited more from a system and the system than draymond. Dude cry’s and yells at the refs full throat (IQ) and gets away with it because (IMO) the league would rather have Klay and Curry playing deep into the playoffs so they can’t toss Dray everytime he acts up. How many dumb Shaqtin a fool plays does Dray have from ill advised 3s when KD, Klay or Curry are open? Man....everyone thinking it...Dray is aight but his true Contribution is over rated...curry and Klay and KD make crap happen...dude a super role player

He is a super role player, and those guys have been voted into the hall of fame. Rodman and Ben Wallace most recently.

I’m not sure what ill advised 3’s you’re talking about? He rarely shoots and is one of the best passers and most unselfish players in the league. He only shoots when he’s wide open and the clock is starting to tick down. His understanding of his own strengths and weaknesses is another reason he’s such a high IQ player and led the leagues number 1 offense in assists twice.

You’re just one of those people who thinks you have to be a huge scorer to be a huge difference maker and star. I disagree.
