Does basketball IQ reside in the knees?


I understand that Roy is forever going to be limited physically, but what happened to his decision making? He seems so lost on the court and even more so when he has the ball up top. His physical limitations could be easily over come if only he made decisive moves with the basketball. He seems to move pretty well when he needs to, but the decision making has been horrible. Make your move, if your stopped, pass and get better position, or cut. These are simple basketball philosophies that he can't seem to grasp. It seems like he is determined to get his shot up no matter how ill advised instead of finding the open teammate. Maybe he is just trying to force his old style to work and it will take time for him to realize it can't. I don't know, but i feel like he has forgot how to play basketball entirely. The best thing for him to do would be to get open for a catch and shoot or post up. I expected less physically, but right now Roy is playing dumb, and I have always considered him a high IQ guy.
