2. Jeff Teague, 2009 NBA Draft, Atlanta Hawks

After six seasons in the NBA, Jeff Teague is one of the most underrated point guards. This season, he led the Hawks to the best record in franchise history and to the Eastern Conference Finals. This season, he was voted as an All-Star for the first time in his career.

His best season statistically occurred during 2013-14 when he averaged 16.5 points, 6.7 assists, and 2.6 rebounds, but Teague really displayed his abilities this season in the playoffs.

With his quickness, not too many point guards can keep Teague in front of them and to go along with a consistent outside shot, it makes him one of the most dynamic point guards in a league where there are so many elite ones. In the next couple of years, Teague will continue to produce great numbers and be mentioned with the other great point guards of the NBA.

For his career, Teague is averaging11.5 points, 5.0 assists, and 2.1 rebounds.
