    LOL.

    Seriously, I was surprised that the Olympics only had 12 teams. It thought they would have more.

    It’s whimsical to to think that is even possible hunh and getting shivers from an interview.

    Good grief I need to take a break from this forum.

    Got to build around the brightest guys. For Rockets the high IQ guys are:

    Alperen Sengun
    Amen Thompson
    Reed Sheppard

    Those should be the Big 3.

    The next tier IQ is:
    Jabari Smith Jr
    Tari Eason
    Cam Whitmore

    Finally:
    Jalen Green

    The Rockets are SO DAMN LUCKY to get to choose between that much young talent to build around. Take your time Stone and choose wisely.

    I want you to elaborate on why Tari Eason and Cam are higher "IQ" than Green?

    One averaged more turnovers than assists and the other is a high motor headless chicken who is a mad man that gets after things like lose balls, passing lanes etc. A modern Corey Brewer. When has "high IQ" ever been part of what makes them hyped or good?

    Jabari Smith also...


    It seems like with guys like Cam, Tari etc it's bigotry of low expectations when you say they have higher IQ than Green.


    Green has more advanced roles and therefore has higher burdens and has to do more complex things than those guys and therefore the scrutiny is on him while guys like Cam and Tari can excel in very limited roles as role players not asked to do things like create on offense.

    Completely agreed. 3 high IQ guys and their games all compliment one another; perfect combination.
    I still have a lot of faith that at least 2 of Tari, Cam and Jabari can become great 3 and D pieces to fill out the starting 5 too.

    That’s four really good players. Put Jalen in that poll and see where he ranks.

    Sengun stans are prolific in spreading narratives about Green on social media.

    Look at almost any random Green **** talking post on Twitter and see a Alpi picture in their profile pic.

    I can't wait to see those two on the court together. I'm pumped! Reed really took the brunt of the defense last game which is a great sign for the respect he's already getting. They knew they had to shut him down to win. . . . and they were right. Good strategizing T-Wolves!

    You continue to define projection. Look who’s in the profile picture of the guy I’m replying to, and what thread we are in. lol
