I am trying to think of some words that would describe one as being able to speak little but speak intelligently. "Economical" seems good, but I feel as though there are more accurate words.
Any suggestions?

If I were describing such a person, I would probably say,
“She speaks simply but eloquently.”
https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/eloquent
Eloquently |Definition of Eloquently by Vocabulary.com Dictionary
When something is beautifully, gorgeously, perfectly said (or written), it is eloquent.
Or, perhaps,
“He is a man of few words, but when he speaks, he speaks with conviction.”
