The Indiana Pacers are on a 4-game winning streak and Jeff Teague is most certainly looking the part of the pass-first ‘pure’ point guard that the team hoped they acquired when they traded George Hill this offseason.
After failing to post double-digit assists and only averaging 6.5 assists in the first 17 games of the season, he has done it nine times in the last 20 games, averaging nine a game over that span.
He is only getting better, too.
In the last 10 games, his averages are 17.2 points and 9.8 assists a game, nearly a double-double.
