Tim,
What positive impact does IQ have on the court? Again, my team does well and happens to have high IQ players . Definitely lucked out on that. I never even look at that column.
Also are you saying you value FGJ and FGI more than scoring? I feel like without at least one good scorer, my team will have too much difficulty generating points and will struggle with wins even with a good defense.
IQ = better chance of shooting more accurately, fewer turnovers, and perhaps a small effect on foul chance. Also seems to affect postseason stats - higher IQ players are more likely to replicate or better their regular season stats in the playoffs. Lower IQ is the opposite and one of the reasons why I look at playoff stats.
Scoring really only affects who is most likely to take the shot (also dependent on your team makeup and offense, and opponent's defense). Too many scorers and your efficiency gets dinged (everyone fighting over the ball). No real scorers can still work, but because the shot distribution is going to be equal, you need everyone to be efficient at shooting.
