A month or two ago, a Hollinger article said that the Blazers should have won more games, based upon their other statistics. The article compared expected wins to actual wins for all teams. Never met him, but I have been a member of Mensa. You make my point. Joel took a few years to learn the game, and so will Greg. But Greg has more talent, so he'll be as effective as Joel in 1 year instead of 5 years, even while knowing less. Remember the definitions. Regular IQ is unchanging throughout life--it's in your genes. Basketball IQ grows with experience. I second the ding ding ding. Having baby players with potential does NOT make us the deepest team in the league. McMillan makes everyone into a specialist instead of a generalist. Everyone is a role player except Roy. When we have proven experienced players who can play, only then will I say that we have good depth.
