Teague averaged 16.5 points per game this season to set a new career high in scoring. It could have been even more though, if not for a two month mid-season drop off.

For January and February, Teague only averaged only 14.8 points a night. He also saw his shooting percentage drop, as he shot 43.8 percent from the field for the season, and only 41.1 percent in those two months.

Teague can put the ball in the basket in a variety of different ways, but he excels in driving to and finishing around the rim. Teague was third in the NBA in drives per game at 10.6 last season, and the Hawks will hope to see that improve further next season.
