Tyrell Terry uses his record-breaking high basketball IQ to his advantage

If such a team existed, Tyrell Terry knows he wouldn’t be a candidate for the NBA’s all-brawns team. But he knows he certainly would be a candidate for the NBA’s all-brains team.

Terry is 6-3 and lists his weight at around 170 pounds, depending on what he ate that day. As far as his smarts go, well. . .

In a basketball IQ test administered by several NBA front office personnel over the summer, Terry broke the record for the highest basketball IQ ever registered. That type of knowledge should bode well for someone in the position of Terry, who was chosen on the second round of last month’s NBA Draft by the Dallas Mavericks, but didn’t have the luxury of playing in the traditional summer league due to the on-going coronavirus pandemic, and will now be playing his first preseason game on Saturday in Milwaukee against the highly-regarded Bucks.
