A piece of news from recent days that Jeff Teague will join the Bucks.
According to a well-known ESPN reporter, former All-Star guard Jeff Teague will join the Bucks, before the trade deadline, Teague was sent to the Magic by the Celtics in a trade, but because the Magic is in the rebuilding period, Teague was quickly cut, and now that the clarification period has passed, the Bucks immediately started to take Teague to Milwaukee.
For the Bucks, this signing is not a surprise, before the Tucker trade, the Bucks sent DJ Augustine to the Rockets, Augustine averaged 6.1 points and 3.0 assists per game before being traded, although not at the peak, but as a backup point guard is still not bad, the Bucks signed Teague is a remedy for losing Augustine.
Now Teague, how much oil is still in the tank?
Before being traded, Teague played in 34 games for the Celtics, averaging 6.9 points, 1.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 18.1 minutes per game, three points is Teague's biggest highlight, shooting 26 of 56 so far this season, shooting 46.4% from the field and 54.2% from the field.
For most of the time, Teague didn't play particularly well, often handing over embarrassing statistics of 0 points or 0 assists, but before being traded, Teague played two good games - against the Grizzlies, Teague scored 26 points and 6 assists, and against the Bucks, Teague once again got 15 points and 2 assists, which is also a rare highlight of Teague Celtics' career.
Even so, Teague regressed too much.
Six years ago, Teague was the Hawks' point guard, averaging 15.9 points, 2.5 rebounds and 7.0 assists per game, helping the Hawks to the First Record in the East and being personally named an All-Star, and in the following years, Teague's performance has been on the edge of the All-Star until he plays for the Pacers, Teague can average 15.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game.
Also relying on the performance of the Pacers, Teague successfully got a three-year, 57 million contract from the Timberwolves, but during the Timberwolves' tenure, Teague declined, not only that, but the evaluation of him also took a sharp turn, and many famous scenes fixed him on the nickname of "Transport Mamba".
Too much dribbling, throwing pot is only one of the reasons why Teague is "disliked", what really makes Teague decline is injury and playing style - injuries are not mentioned, Teague is 32 years old after all, the style of play mainly refers to Teague's offensive style, since entering the league, Teague has been a "sudden more than shooting" player, with the change of the league's mainstream offensive style and the increase in age, Teague's offensive end is naturally inadequate, plus his organization is not good, and it is not surprising that he was finally abandoned by the Celtics.
For Teague, joining the Bucks would be an opportunity.
There are two good aspects, one is that the Bucks have better chances to compete for the title, they also have alphabet brothers, the bench lineup is better than the Celtics, Teague only needs to take on the responsibilities of Augustine before; the second is that the Bucks' head coach is Budenholzer, the Eagles period Teager once worked with The Coach, and it was under the Coach that Teague entered the All-Star.
It is already impossible to expect Teague to change the game, he is only a low-salary player now, if he does not play well, maybe there will be no one to ask for next season, and I hope that Teague can prove himself again, which is also his best chance to rush to the championship.
