I'm not quite sure how to respond to this since I really have no idea
what you mean. Do you mean that monks aren't intelligent because they
are quiet and unassuming?  In any event, let's just say that fear can
cause one to freeze and in Kedrick's case, fear of failure (afraid to
miss a shot therefore he won't shoot it) leads him to freeze when wide
open. Fear = lack of confidence.

What's amazing is that Kedrick never learned from Walker and Pierce.
That no matter how bad you are missing your shots or no matter how many
times you force it into double and triple teams, you still gotta keep
doing it.

As far as I know the brain tells the body what to do.....his quiet
unassuming demeanor would have made a nice Monk.....he did show some
signs again of brain wave movement against Toronto....the team needs
him....let's see what he accomplishes in Cleveland where no one needs a
brain....
