Obviously, they got stronger, they improved their shooting, some improved their defense, but the passing was there from early on, the ability to make good decisions from all over the court. Roddy and even DC don't have that, at least not consistently.

Basketball IQ is definitely a learnable skill. Why do you think you see veteran teams finishing games while young guys are usually mistake prone at the end of games? Now the vision that a Kidd, Nash, Stockton has that's just God given and you either have it or you don't.
