I'd say Manu, Horry and Duncan have the highest IQ's on the court.
Timmy seems to be a bright guy off the court and is a great example for youth, finishing his degree, also he has some pretty nerdy things going for him (D&D, Renaissance fairs) and nerd's are not dumb.
Manu seems fairly smart off the court from the articles he writes, he gives pretty smart/shrewd answers to OT basketball questions, and he said he would have been an accountant if he wasn't playing basketball.
Timmy's probably the wisest on the court though, because Horry and Manu make some low-IQ plays occasionally when they're gambling, and Timmy plays by the book better.

Book smart?
Bonner and Vaughn were valedictorians, I believe. But Tim is damn smart.

I know, off the court, the Spurs team all seem like pretty bright guys compared to like other athletes, like Bowen seems pretty articulate and cool.
Timmy's a basketball genius though.

Yeah Bonner was a valedictorian. So was Vaughn. Duncan graduated Wake Forest in physchology.
If a Spur coach counted, Pop graduated in Russian something or other and reads russian literature. Say what you will but Pop outside of basketball is a pretty damn smart guy.

:lol
Sorry I'm late to the party.
I say Duncan, but he's the one I know the most about so it's biased.
I've read/seen every interview with him I can find, I've only heard the rest of the team in passing.
And I think it's in all ways, Basketball IQ, book smarts, and smart ass.
He's quick witted, articulate. And yes, brilliant on the court.
Oh...And he skipped 3rd grade. :)

\. Duncan graduated Wake Forest in physchology.
Okay people is it physiology, or PSYCHOLOGY. I don't think physchology is an actual major. :lol
I believe Duncan graduated with a B.A or B.S. in Psychology.
Regardless, I'd say D-Rob beats anyone on this squad.
I think Mutumbo is pretty smart. I think Hakeem was pretty intellegent as too.

Yeah Drob had like a 1360 on his SATs or some ridiculous number.
Robinson is just one of those amazing human beings.
Amazingly smart, amazingly good, amazingly talented.
I mean the guy took apart and put back together televisions for fun as a kid.

That's pretty basic info.
It's in most of his bios.
There are several books out on Duncan.
I'm a fan, I read. I collect.
I don't think there's too much I don't know about him.
Everything public anyway.

Is that why his parents gave him 22 names to remember?

oh, Duncan. no contest. He is not only smart, he is cerebral.
that fool not only keeps track of players' points and rebounds during a game. He also keeps track of health points, fatigue level and mana of every single player

And Duncan is the smartest current Spurs player. Hands down.

If we are talking STRICTLY basketball IQ... not gamemanship or skill, but just IQ..... Robert Horry by far.
If your talking book smarts.... Bruce Bowen.

i'd go with duncan. Duncan plays like he's memorized the book on the fundamentals of playing bball. manu? he's got a high basketball IQ, but it is sometimes not evident because he let's his basketball instinct take over. for most of the games, manu's instinct is beneficial to the team's unpredictability. even manu can't predict what he's gonna do next. All other spurs players have an above average basketball IQ, it's a prerequisite for a spurs player.
