The development of Teague


Jeff Teague  has taken his game to another level this season.  He's averaged 19.5 points, 8.7 assist and 1.9 steals per game  as the Atlanta Hawks starting point guard.  Point guard is the best position in the NBA today.  Teague is poised to cement his name as one of the best at his position in the league.  If Teague is to be mentioned with players such as Damian Lillard, Chris Paul and Russell Westbrook, he'ill have to come with the same intensity every night.

So far this season Teague has been up for the challenge.  Atlanta has a win against each of the Western Conferences top eight teams.  Teague's leadership is one of the reasons the Hawks have been unbeatable in 2015.

Atlanta put a great deal of emphasis on keeping Teague around.  That decision has turned out well for the organization.  Having a quality starting point guard in today's NBA is crucial. The Hawks have found that guy in Teague.
