[QUOTE="mauconnfan, post: 2112277, member: 489"] BBIQ is not the only factor, the other is instincts. Jake - High IQ when he came in, great instincts, physical player immediately just needed to learn and was able.. Hilton - Solid IQ and knew how to play the game, but needed to get stronger to be an impact, game was there. Jeff - solid IQ and great instincts for rebounding the ball and scoring around the basket when he came in. Jeff never got any better passing and handling the ball was that JC and the staff's fault? No these are things you can't teach, the player needs to get better of sometimes they just never do. Brimah - low basketball IQ no instincts - can clock shots. 4 years later, same player. You really think they didn't try to teach him everything Jake knew, how to rebound like HA and Jeff? How to box out? Same with face - C'mon you know better than that. I mean I as I said I'm not saying they are great at teaching bigs but they taught them things for sure these guys never got any better at. It's on the kids, and the coaches for recruiting the wrong types of kids bottom line. [/QUOTE]
