What It Means:

Teague, an Indiana native, has sounded very excited in interviews about playing for the Pacers. The team reportedly intended to ink him to a long-term deal when they traded for him, so we can expect something to get done at some point.

Teague ranked 65th in the NBA with a 1.5 nERD last season, while he averaged 15.7 points, 5.9 assists and 2.7 rebounds in 28.5 minutes per game. His 17.9 player efficiency rating was the second-highest of his career, as was his .551 true shooting percentage.
