Blessed be the Pacers fan who doesn’t jump to conclusions after one or two games. After an ugly start to Jeff Teague’s tenure as a Pacer, the Twitter world was ready to call the offseason trade to acquire him a horrible deal — even though those same people had been calling for George Hill’s absence for the last three years.
The concern was reasonable, though. Teague did not look like he fit into Nate McMillan’s offense. His shooting was putrid, he couldn’t get anything going from behind the arc, and he even registered a zero-point game early on in the season.
