The Atlanta Hawks pulled off an intriguing trade in the early afternoon Thursday, sending Allen Crabbe to the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for Jeff Teague and Treveon Graham. All three players are on expiring contracts and will hit unrestricted free agency in July 2020, which therefore makes this trade much more about the present than the future.
Teague has performed as a highly effective backup point guard for Minnesota this season, ranking above the 80th percentile in several offensive categories, per Cleaning the Glass. Some of the notable areas he has thrived in have been assist percentage (90th percentile), assist usage (93rd percentile), and points per shot attempt (83rd percentile).
