Chris Paul’s Basketball IQ continues to dazzle fans and analysts. During a recent match against the Memphis Grizzlies, the San Antonio Spurs playmaker once again demonstrated his mastery of the game, making a decisive action at the end of the second quarter.
Approaching a crucial moment, Paul put pressure on Zach Edey during a floater situation. After attempting to loosen Edey’s grip on the ball, Edey managed to secure it. Rather than engage in a jump for the ball which would have put him at a disadvantage against the 2.24 meter giant, Paul had an innovative idea.
Showing keen tactical sense, Paul signaled his center, Victor Wembanyama, to intervene. When his actions failed to attract Wembanyama’s attention, Paul took charge and physically guided his teammate’s hand towards the ball.

Whether you’re a fan of Paul or not, his sense of the game is undeniable. Few players possess the awareness and foresight necessary to execute such a strategy in the heat of the moment. While many would instinctively attempt to grab the ball themselves, Paul’s decision to involve his taller teammate speaks to his deep understanding of the game.
This latest demonstration adds to a long list of examples where Paul has proven that he has a complex knowledge of basketball dynamics, rivaling even that of referees.
