    How can you put Pat before Scola and Martin? That would put you to number 14. :eek:

    Why is everyone ranking William's IQ so low?

    The dude is one heck of a passer.

    ALL good passers in the NBA have pretty darn good IQ. They know how to share the ball and when to share the ball.

    All I know for certain is that Hill is last and Brooks is far too low on the list for a guy who has been a starter at PG in this league.

    I agree about T-Will. He is one of the higher IQ guys on the team.

    However, ALL good passers do not necessarily have good IQ. IQ involves good passing skills, defense, and knowing where to be on both sides of the floor.

    people get on martin about not contributing when he disappears in games, but at least he doesn't stall the offense and take shots away from other players ala brooks. it seem like everytime aaron comes in, the 2nd unit for the other team goes on a big run.

    that pekovic is a big dude.

    1. Battier, Hayes, Miller
    4. Martin, Lowry, Scola
    7. Budinger, Lee, Patterson, Jeffries, Brooks, Smith
    13. Hill

    Williams-he's only played 49 minutes for the Rockets, and I didn't watch him play for the Nets, so I'm not sure yet where he would rank.

    1. Battier
    1a. Hayes
    3. Lowry
    4. Miller
    5. Martin
    6. Patterson
    7. Scola
    8. Lee
    9. Ish (could be higher but haven't played a lot of minutes)
    10. JJ (refer to above)
    11. Budinger (has little variety on offense, can't be sure at this point, but defense is atrocious)
    12. AB (takes the wildest shots, everyone's favorite when he makes the shots, and the scapegoat when he does not)
    13. Hill (after 2 years in the NBA, it seems that the game still hasn't slowed down for him)

    Battier and Hayes are the smartest. Miller is up there.

    Hill is at the bottom.

    The reason is Scola doesn't want to jump so he wont get injured... that's a plus 1 BB IQ right there :).
