Jeff Teague put together a remarkable 2015-16 campaign, one that showcased his development into an all-around playmaking threat at point guard.
At one point in his career, Teague was the fireballer, the basketball version of a young baseball pitcher who overpowers hitters with a 98-mile-per-hour fastball and not much else. Now he has matured into the equivalent of a pitcher who has command of every type of pitch: fastballs, curveballs, sinkers, changeups. Part of what makes 27-year-old's game effective is that defenders have no idea what pitch is coming. His versatility keeps opponents off balance.
For starters, Teague gets the Hawks' offense in gear with his drives to the basket.
