2014-15 Breakout Player: Jeff Teague
Word: After quite a solid fifth season in the NBA, averaging 16 points and seven assists per game, I expect Teague to post even up bigger numbers in 2014-15. And we saw a preview of what Teague could be during the playoffs last season against the Indiana Pacers. Teague averaged nearly 20 points, five assists and four rebounds per game in the postseason. Expect this season’s numbers to hover around that.
