Name at least 1

Boris Diaw
Wesley Matthews

[Ca$H]

Draymond Green

[KungFuJoe]

Every Spur bench player.

Kyle Korver.

Or has he been promoted to a level above role player at this point?

If he could just stay healthy! :banghead:

[FKAri]

Bruce Bowen

[raprap]

Battier

[T_L_P]

Every Spur bench player.

To be fair, Marco, Ayres and Daye don't have high basketball IQs.

To OP's question: RoLo (if you consider him one). Also, Asik and Gibson.

[Mass Debator]

Anyone think Jeremy Lin is?

[AboutBuckets]

Kirk Hinrich, Andre Miller

[Big Cheese]

*insert random unathletic white player*

[Milbuck]

Kendall Marshall.

[Mass Debator]

Kirk Hinrich, Andre Miller
Awesome picks.

I hope Andre can play 4 more seasons to pass the all time record of games played. He'd be 42 years old though...so unlikely. :/

[L.Kizzle]

Kelvin Cato

[rmt]

Bruce Bowen

I wouldn't call Bowen a high IQ role player - he knew his limitations and stuck to his role. I'd say he's the opposite of Horry - maximum effort EVERY night, year in, year out. Horry - minimum effort except when it counted, but VERY HIGH basketball IQ - just knew what play to make when.

[GimmeThat]

Anyone think Jeremy Lin is?

No, he's like the short little pg from space jam whose team ends be being defeated by the looney tunes and mj's arm.

[Bay Area Baller]

I would say Isaiah Thomas, off the bench for the Suns and runs the team very efficiently while still having 2 pgs ahead of him :bowdown:

[Xiao Yao You]

Joe Ingles!

[ralph_i_el]

Awesome picks.

I hope Andre can play 4 more seasons to pass the all time record of games played. He'd be 42 years old though...so unlikely. :/
He only plays as many minutes as his body will let him, and he never jumps, so playing till 42 isn't out of the question.

He has better footwork than any guard in the league.

[Eric Cartman]

Jose Calderon (for that poster that wanted to put a white guy).

Also Gerald Henderson.

[Im so nba'd out]

Jimmy Butler

[Imtheman]

Derek Fisher
Kirk Hinrch
Andre Miller

[DaRkJaWs]

Big shot bob, duh. Probably the greatest role player of all time.

[Burgz V2]

Luke Walton and Brian Shaw in their playing days.

entire Spurs rotation.

Andre Miller
Is Paul Pierce considered a role player on the Wizards?
Vince Carter (for still being able to get it done without his athleticism)
Jorge Garbajosa had one of the highest basketball IQ's i've seen. Was instrumental in our first division title year. Tragic injury he suffered, he could have had a long career in the league.
