Hoopinion: Updating Jeff Teague

[Hawksquawk]

Yesterday's post on Jeff Teague's simultaneous improvement and diminishing playing time deserves, in the wake of his 18 point, 3 assist (and 4 turnover), 3 steal, 25 minute performance last night in Boston, an immediate update.

Teague is now scoring more and scoring more efficiently than he did in his rookie season.

Jeff Teague	Pts/36	TS%	eFG%	2PTFG%	3PTFG%	FT Rate
2009-10	11.4	45.9	41.2	42.6	21.9	18.1
2010-11	12.1	54.9	48.9	49.4	30.0	27.6

Teague's turnover rate rose last night, but so did his assist and defensive rebound rates.

Jeff Teague	Ast%	TO%	OR%	DR%
2009-10	25.1	16.7	0.8	10.2

Teague remains second on the team in steal rate and fourth in block rate.

Teague's PER this season is up to 14.9. The league average is 15.0.
