I don't think that you shop him because I don't think he has done enough to ahve any trade value. To me its the middle ground of "include him in a trade if it gets you what you want". But I don't want Teague to be the focal point of a deal. But if I had the chance to do Crawford and Teague for Billups I'd do that in a heartbeat.

You right on that. The only way he leaves town is if he's packaged with another starter or Crawford.

I like option #4

I would continue to bring him off the bench giving him a consistent 15-20 mpg to see if he can EARN more then that. If he shows no real improvement 3 months from now then I would listen to the trade deadline offers discussed around the league.

I guess I would go with: keep bringing him off the bench like they've been doing. He has until Dec 15/16 (when more players are eligible to be traded) to see a marked improvement. I can live with him not scoring but he looks so tentative running the team, and why is he never nin the lane, he is so quick and even if it's not a play for him shoot it will cause the defense to collapse, then we have shooters or he can pass to Al or Josh for the dunk. He just doesn't get into the lane enough.

I have no doubt that Jeff is talented player. Two things are holding him back: lack of confidence and problems with shooting.

He's been very good from free throw line so far, I bet he's been working hard on his shot.

I'm pretty convinced that leader role doesn't fit his personality. Either coaching staff accepts who he is and will act accordingly or they'll continue to encourage him to step up and become a leader on the court which won't change much.

I will have to admit that the reason that I'm so hard on Teague is because he's displayed the same deficiencies that Acie had minus the injuries. I just get the nagging feeling of "why wait?" when we can just tune in to the Grizzlies now to see what we are waiting to get in another 2 years.

[WraithSentinel]

As frustrated with as I am. You got to give him at least a year. At the very least wait until close to the trading deadline. If he is showing no progression then do something with him. I hope something start clicking for him soon. Old Bibby has come crashing back to earth recently..

[exodus]

I didn't see Teague in college. If i had i probably would have been pissed at the Hawks for drafting a guard in the first round who shoots like a girl.

I think his trade value is best maximized if paired with Marvin. However, props to those of you with the patience to see this (Teague's development) through a little longer.
