i dont think thats right
because the lower his skills meaning he doesnt have the skills to play. he shoots blanks, cant make a good defensive stop, making bad passes, doesnt know where to position and when to.
also his basketball IQ is low, because the difference of a good defensive player is able to adjust to the players offense style of game because he knows how and not crumbing to the situation.
an example if he like to take jump shots more than driving it to the hole the next time around he would anticipate it, and less likely commiting to fouls. because the players knows how to handle himself defensively.
another is the higher the iq the better he knows when to foul,
im not saying this is consistent but he could be more better in the sense making or able to make stops at a certain time especially when needed. its not always but he does a better job than the other
because an extreme example of offensive player is giving the ball to amare and ostertag. amare knows what to do and while ostertag will surely pass than take a shot.
