Just wondering, who do you guys feel was the player with the best "basketball IQ" to play at St johns in say the last 20 yrs? not best player.
Good question. My answer might surprise some but I am going with Barkley
Agree with Barkley, but I think Bootsy is right there with him, if not higher. I remember watching Bootsy in the first half of the 98=99 season.
He didn't force anything.
Played a careful game, and took good shots. He was also probably the best offensive rebounder for a 2 guard that we've ever had. Early on, you barely noticed him, but by the end of the game, he filled up the stat sheet. The guy just knew where to be on offense, and truth be told, became a strong defender under Jarvis.
