I disagree that Jaric doesn't have a basketball IQ. In fact, I think it's his best skill. I really believe his #1 issue is confidence. Whenever he is demoted from starter to bench, or away from PG, or criticized in the press, his game suffers. It's happened ever since he joined the Clippers. I don't know why, because a former Euroleague star and international team leader should be ready to step up and say "WTF, I'm in charge here, and I'm damn good," but instead he seems to wither and question himself and everything else. He gets tentative, rushed and just all-around worse. (Kirilenko has Jaric Disease on occasion.)
