Age: 28
Years pro: 8
Status: Free agent
Key stats: Started all 82 games. Averaged 15.3 points while hitting 44 percent of his field goals, including 36 percent of his 3-pointers. Averaged 7.8 assists and four rebounds, both career-highs.
Jeff Teague's season kind of slipped through the cracks. After a pause for reflection, it probably shines brighter than it did in real time. It was full of firsts, bests and "most-sinces," and leaves him in an interesting position as a free agent.
Consider that he:
- Started all 82 games for the first time in his career, and became the first Pacers player to do so since Mike Dunleavy in 2007-08
- Averaged a career-high 7.
