his continuous boneheaded fouling prevents me from jumping on this bandwagon.

granted, he seems to get some bad calls against him on the reg - which isn't his fault.

But i think people are conflating high bb iq with playing with passion and hustle.  Playing all out is endearing and says something about a player "getting it"...and in a sense - being the glue guy the team needs because you know that's what the team needs is a sign of awareness that some players seem to be lacking - many players don't seem to have an idea of how their play fits into what the team needs - they are just playing with their own self-interest at heart.

marek plays for the team - which puts him above most players in terms of bb iq - but he still has a ways to go in terms of being high bb iq.  he needs to know when to shoot and how to make offenses pay - he does seem to be turning the corner and getting better at this - but the fouling is still an obstacle to him taking the next step - and part of that is out of his control as refs are very inconsistent with calls - therefore hard to adjust to how they call games.
