The pnr usually goes nowhere.
Teague doesnt pass to him in the post nearly enough.
3 years together should look a little smoother considering teagues the primary ballhandler and kat is the primary post threat/screener.


I think Teague views him as a ball hog and wants to go elsewhere with the ball. Teague is trash on this team and his best role is off the bench playing aggressive, probably on another team.

This team and roster as constructed has much bigger problems than Jeff Teague. I guess I'll keep saying it until it's realized. He just happens to be the board's new whipping boy.

Well, this board has had many from Ricky Rubio to Thaddeus Young to Kevin Martin to Tom Thibodeau to Jeff Teague. It's just a revolving door at this point. It won't be long before Jarrett Culver takes his place.

So you are telling me that the guy that is 70-52 when he plays and 21-35 when he doesn't isn't the main reason the wolves are struggling.

Now is Teague perfect. Hell no. But he is by far not the biggest reason why the wolves have struggled.

Teague should have had 15 assists if anyone could hit a shot on this team. The problem is lacking talented scorers.

If you rank all the PG's in the NBA where does Teague land? How does he fit with this team? He's hot and cold and correct me if I am wrong but consistency as the main ball handler is what you are looking for or no? I think his best fit is on a team off the bench as an attacking and kicking PG not a starting PG.

We agree on the 15 assists!!! I agree with your take here but I would say this team is more lacking shooters. Can you imagine him driving and kicking to shooters even as hot and cold from 3 as Wiggins not to mention someone better? No he is throwing it to Culver, Okogie, Graham and this game they started with Vonleh. The spacing this team has even with some bad shooters has done wonders for Wiggins. Imagine what Teague would and could do attacking with even more space than he does now. Fun stat is Teague is getting to the line at the highest rate of his career and the highest rate on the entire roster. Flawed player and yes maddening but he does some good things out there too.
