The Hawks are dominating the east, and Jeff Teague been dominating the league’s top point guards this season.
Teague led Atlanta to wins over (and outplayed) Chris Paul, John Wall, Damian Lillard, Mike Conley, Russell Westbrook; am I leaving someone out? Probably, because Teague has been phenomenal this season.
Of course, I’m not saying he deserves to start over John Wall, but Teague definitely deserves to be on the team.
Jeff is boasting a career-high in true-shooting percentage (TS%) at 58% and also in player efficiency (PER) with a rating of 22.2.
To put that in perspective, Teague is beating John Wall in both of those categories.
