Jeff Teague’s quietly crafty hidden talent
Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY SportsJeff Teague is rarely demonstrative. Self-described as a “reserved guy”, shows of emotion, be it roaring to the crowd or chirping at officials, are usually the exception to his even-keeled norm. Unlikely to punctuate a potential four-point play by counting it out for fans, perhaps his calm, cool exterior is somewhat to blame for why one specific skill of his has until recently gone unnoticed.
But, after victimizing Dennis Schroder, Patty Mills, and Goran Dragic in three of Indiana’s last five games, it’s become increasingly more difficult to ignore Jeff Teague’s sneaky adeptness at drawing contact on jump shots.
