Hawks' Player Recap: Jeff Teague

Today's Hawks' player recap will cover Jeff Teague.
Teague is a third-year guard out of Wake Forest. He has spent his entire career so far in Atlanta. He has slowly improved every year since being drafted, with this past season being his best yet. He has taken over the starting position at point guard and helped the Hawks become a much better running and passing team.
Teague played in 80 games this past season. He averaged a career-high 14.6 points a game, a career-high with 7.2 assists per game and 2.3 rebounds a game. He finished with totals of 1166 points scored, his first 1,000 point season in the NBA, and career-highs of 579 assists and 180 rebounds. He also had fifteen double-doubles during the year. His best game this past season came on January 16th when the Hawks beat the Brooklyn Nets, 109-95. Teague had a season-high 28 points in the win, he also dished out eleven assists.
Teague is a free agent this off season. He seems the most likely player to return out of all the Hawks' free agents. He is a vital piece to the offense being the point guard as he runs the teams while he is on the floor. Look for the Hawks to make a big push to make sure he returns.

Jeff Teague set career-highs in scoring, assists and rebounding this past year as he became a vital part to the Hawks' offense.
