Corbin hates Kanter?

Stahp! You're talking about basketball knowledge and basketball fundamentals, not BBIQ.

Stahp. Kanter will improve all three over time.

As Kanter continues to see time he will improve his awareness of what is going on around him. He will read offesnes and defenses better. He will hone skills and learn when to do and not do something.

I miss the days when you actually believed anything you typed.

Stahp. Kanter will improve all three over time.

Probably true. Some players continue to learn over their careers. Others lack the desire to learn or the aptitude. Some think they know enough or just rely on their athleticism and don't think they need to learn any more. Others sign their big payday and lose their drive to improve.

Kanter seems to be still on the steep part of the learning curve, so there is a good amount of hope, in my opinion.

That's cute after you showed you don't know wtf you're talking about and don't understand the simplest basketball concepts, so you were arguing against something you think someone is saying but really you're just confused/undereducated.

Stoked the giant brick wall strikes again.

Clearly. Thanks.
 
That's a fundamental skill, not BBIQ. SMH

Increasing his fundamentals has a direct correlation to increased in knowledge, which points to his BBIQ being increased because his clearly now understanding something he didn't before and is implementing it.

Playing time is like sudoku for players, it helps them to better understand the patterns of the game.

Kanter picked up Al's footwork exceptionally fast. If he didn't have BBIQ, he'd likely be able to learn the moves, but wouldn't do them at precisely the right time to be effective. That part comes from his own in-the-moment intelligence.

Don't know if this is Marvin Williams' real twitter, but the article says some interesting things about Enes Kanter and Marvin Williams...

Enes Kanter
Kanter is being disgustingly ignored in Utah. I want to give the Jazz the benefit of the doubt, I hope this solely has to do with their tanking mission but I doubt it. Why an end-of-his-time veteran like Richard Jefferson or a never-reached-his-potential role player like Marvin Williams take minutes away from Kanter is beyond me. Kanter is seventh in minutes on the Jazz, yet when he playes 25 minutes or more he’s failed to score 10-plus points only twice. Over a three-game stint in February, Kanter averaged 22.7 points per game, 9.0 rebounds a game, and shot 65 percent over 35 minutes. Those are All-Star numbers–granted on a small sample size. Kanter deserves the opportunity to be showcased in an offense that will use him. A big part of the reasoning behind letting Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap go was to create playing time for Derrick Favors and Kanter. That obligation hasn’t been fulfilled.

More power to you for trying to climb that hill.

Muscle memory is knowledge, I suppose, but it's not bbiq.

Fixed.

Al Jefferson has great fundamentals but poor bbiq. If you're arguing that Kanter growing to Jefferson's level of fundamentals will make him Jefferson's bbiq equal then that's a pretty damning indictment of Kanter.

BBIQ is about reacting to the changing atmosphere around you and predicting where the offensive or defensive holes are going to be. That requires understanding where all 10 men on the court are and will be, and not spinning like a ballerina in the post and figuring out how to shoot around the double team with your great fundamentals.
 
Anyway, SF, I'm more interested in the conversation earlier in the thread. Do you have an example of what you were getting at?
