What high BBIQ players have not made it in the NBA

[Beat LA]

Shabazz Napier, every Duke guard ever, Tyler Hansbrough, 90% of all white players that northeastern fan bases want their teams to take.

TP for the laugh.  I figured someone would make the white guy point . In that spirit, what about Matt Janning?

[Beat LA]

Daniel Orton (sarcasm) , Luke Harangody, and Adam Morrison.

Rudy Fernandez?

He was ok
He was a bench contributor at least
He just went back to play in Spain

[KG Living Legend]

 High BBIQ, to me anyway generally means your an awesome passer, I think of Slow guys that can really see the court, Boris Diaw, Kyle Anderson, Marc Jackson, Jason Kidd he was fast too.

 Let me ask this, What poit guards or point forwards do you remember that could play and were really slow.

Well, he probably wasn't a 'point forward,' but, given his tremendous passing ability, what about Chris Mullin?

[KG Living Legend]

 Yeah Mullin for sure. It's just hard to think of awesome passers that didn't make it.

High bbiq who didn't make it...ready?
Old friend Virginia alum Rick Carlisle.  Couldn't play at pro level but you just knew he was going to be a coach.

Secondary point guard who could really play but slow with great bbiq, another current coach Scott skiles

[Boris Badenov]

I find the whole "think of guys who haven't made it" exercise really difficult. It's like asking who is the least famous movie star...you're asking to remember people who are by definition not memorable.

The flip side is kind of interesting to me: who was the best player ever to have a very low BBIQ?

Barkley?

(Rebound and score like a madman, no D, poor shot selection with too many threes)

Phil Pressey is a very good passer, don't know how long he's going to last to be honest.

I'd like to see him last, good kid.

Dwight Howard would probably have to be up there. 

That guy is dumb as a nail, but has had a very impressive career.  If he never got his career derailed by injuries, he'd be considered a Patrick Ewing caliber big by now - maybe already is.

TP for the Carlisle mention, but I thought that Skiles could play, or am I wrong?

It was a second question guys who could play but we're slow.  Skiles in a different body would have been quite the player. So skiles could definatly play just not the fastest guy.

I thought about him, but he's more selectively dumb. I mean, give him credit for a decade of excellent defensive positioning. He's stubborn and somewhat selfish on offense and didn't develop that as much, but he's been pretty darn effective at individual and team defense.

But I'd throw Iverson in there, Antoine walker too.

I can name somebody from this years summer league: Royce O'neal
