Minnesota Timberwolves: Pros and cons of Jeff Teague

Pro: Shooting

Everyone likes positives – so lets start on a good note.

Okay, hold on before you roll your eyes at me. I get that Teague isn’t an elite shooter, but he can shoot the ball when called upon.

Over his career, he’s had decent shooting numbers. His free-throw percentage sits at 84, a 44 percent field goal percentage, and 35 percent from three.

I wouldn’t claim he’s a great shooter or an elite shooter, but he certainly can shoot the ball. For once at the point guard position, we won’t be holding our breaths saying “OH NO! DON’T SHOOT”.

But in all seriousness, Teague should be able to help the team’s 3-point woes. By now many of you know that the team was the 3-point shooting team in the league, or at least have a good understanding that they need help in that area. Teague should help out with that.

He will shoot it from deep close to three times a game, and we should see him making a minimum a third of those. He won’t become the primary shooter from deep, but certainly will be a much-needed help in that regard.

He will have the ability to space the floor, another thing the team struggled with.Teams knew that they can beat this offense by stacking the paint and forcing them to shoot. With a three-headed monster composed of Jimmy Butler, Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns – Teague should be able to slide under the radar on this offense and hit some open three’s.
