Teague has all the tools to be a great point guard in the NBA, it just seems like more of a question of whether he has the mentality to do so. Certain aspects of Teague’s game have long been plagued with inconsistencies, and if he can manage them more efficiently, there’d likely be a big jump in his production.

Is this going to be the year Teague achieves those goals? It’s too tough to call. All that can be said for certain is, there’s definitely All-Star talent in Teague’s game, it’s now up to him to let it out.
