2017 NBA Manifesto
Jeff Teague
PG, 6’2, 186lbs, 29 years old, 8 years of experience
Played 82, started 82, played 32.4 minutes per, and recorded 15.3 points and 7.8 assists per as well. Teague shot at a career high efficiency (.574%%) to go with that career high in assists, and was a pleasant shot-in-the-arm for a stagnant offence with his speed, driving and kicking. Still a poor defender, though, and with that in mind, although there is no other option on the team currently, Teague’s price in free agency must be capped should any other point guard-less team out there seek to overpay him.
Player Plan: Entering unrestricted free agency, fresh off of an $8.8 million contract. Not the best point guard on the market, and is with his hometown team in Indiana, but this is also his best chance of a mammoth pay day, so he’ll have to explore that. Merits an $80 million deal, but might get a $100 million one. If he does, let him walk, and commence the long-postponed rebuild.
