I've actually wondered about relative IQ and learning curve with Mihm, 
myself. Mostly because of how often he and the coaching staff have spoken 
of his still learning the defense as a big problem all season long with 
giving him PT. Not learning the fine points or the final lessons, but just 
learning it. With the evidence of that and his not learning from other 
things out there on the court to see. I don't think it's lack of effort, 
but he may just be a slow learner, which means he needs extra help in the 
form of extra and carefully targeted coaching. There's enough potential 
there, because of the athleticism, to make it worth trying IMO.
