Minnesota Timberwolves: 2017-18 player grades for Jeff Teague

Highlights

Down the stretch is where a lot of big Teague nights happened. Again, it helps having Butler out for an extended period of time. He did help out a lot when they needed it most on offense though, finding ways to rebound, assist and score the ball.

In this game against the Los Angeles Clippers, he notched one of his 13 double-doubles this season. He scored 20 points and came away with 12 assists.

More importantly, the Wolves beat a team that was right on their tails in the Western Conference playoffs race. His second-highest scoring average against any team this year was the Clippers.

Then there was this dominating night against a struggling Los Angeles Lakers team. Coming away with 25 points, eight assists and four rebounds, Teague played a huge part in the Wolves beating the Lakers at the end of the season.

One of his biggest shots came up against the Denver Nuggets when they were fighting to go to the playoffs. Minnesota won this game 112-106 in overtime, but it was Teague’s shot that put Minnesota up late, 107-106.

There were plenty of low moments for him, but he did have a really strong end to the season.
