-Hes able to find way to score -Creative -Uses his speed they way it should be used -Which is his strength he uses very well -He is just a scoring point guard -He does run the offense the way it should be with rarely any mistakes -which he does end up getting teammates involved cause it all starts from him -He is unpredictable -Meaning you dont know when hes going to stop and pop, drive, dish, shoot the 3 or simply pass. Low IQ= Luther Head and Stromile Siwft, or does not anyone remember? I am not trying to be on Aaron side only. I like both Kyle and Aaron equally and happy with whoever starts, but the fact that some people on this forum just make it sounds ridiculous when they state that he has a low IQ
He's a second year player and not a pure PG. He's being asked to be a starting PG against pretty good teams in the playoffs. I think it's only natural that he'll make mistakes, but for now I'd chalk that up to inexperience rather than low basketball IQ.
he has low bball iq when it comes to making pg plays........when he looks brilliant, like he did in game 4, it's when he goes on a scoring rampage, because that's what he's good at, he's a scorer who plays point because of size.....even in college he played 2 guard for the most part when tajuan porter showed up.
he can dish and score doesnt mean he has high bball IQ... he has same problem with Iverson: they dont see the big picture, they only see the "small picture", simply put they dont know when to take over or when to simply pass and observe, unable to regonize mismatches and weak spot of defense

Yeah he is making mistakes now do to his inexperience but, he is not making boneheaded plays like Luther head did, and thats why he couldnt make the transition to point guard, and he still seem to give reasons on why he should start rather than Kyle.
imo with yao. lowry > brooks without yao brooks > lowry (so far) brooks thrives when he's in the right scheme. when set in a scheme that he doesnt feel comfortable in he struggles. the current scheme without yao fits brooks better than with him. just like allen iverson. he thrived on the 76er's scheme but struggled on the nuggets scheme its all about the right player in the right scheme
To the op, don't u know the rule? If yao doesn't get 50 touches, you have low bbiq. If you don't want to risk a turnover after the defender has came around and tipped the ball away, you have a low bbiq. If you don't throw lobs when shanes man is on the opposite blk, u have a low bbiq. If you're the coach that has previously gone to a couple of nba finals and conference final and u don't bench artest or Must.Take.Ball.Out.Of.Brooks'.Hands. you have low bbiq.
Word, there is no question. Aaron is freed up to pick up the scoring slack with Yao out - so can play his more natural game. Lowry still effective though with his ability to get to the basket and create contact. I like Lowry at the 1 and Brooks coming off screens as a 2 guard.
BasketBall IQ is a meaningless word made up to denigrate a player with no real basis . . . basically . . most of it comes down to I DON'T KNOW WHAT BASKETBALL IQ IS . . BUT I KNOW IT WHEN I SEE IT so . .it is highly subjective . . . HIGHLY Rocket River
As a PG, 2.8 turnovers to 2.3 assist ratio for the series is horrible. Brooks has had some great shooting games, but also had games where he is outscored by the likes of Steve Blake, Derek Fisher and Jordan Farmar, who are decidedly not scoring PGs. If scoring is going to be his only primary asset he really needs to win these match ups consistently, because frankly these have been the easiest PG match ups he could hope for in the playoffs. That doesn't mean he needs to average 20+ per game, but 34 in one game and 7 in the previous is a pretty wild swing and having more assists than turn overs shouldn't be too unreasonable to expect.
okay, if luther was still on the team, we shouldve handed the key over to him running the point then, since he had low IQ. the point im trying to make is, AB isnt that low, he's fine.
-he is a scoring point guard -which is why he was able to shine with Yao out -because he doesnt have to give it to Yao all the time -which is why he should be a starter -because his basketball IQ is good enough
The most important thing is that Aaron Brooks couldn't keep him out of injured if he play like Allen Iverson. Lowry would be a safe choice.
------------------------------------------------- the difference is AI CAN see the big picture and make the right decision IF HE WANTS TO, while AB is a different story but i love AB's scoring talent, reminds me about Kenny Smith's range, if only he could be as smart...
