Marquis Teague is a talented 19 year old point guard prospect with a high upside.

By Brandon Pemberton

30. Marquis Teague  Sophomore 6-2 190lbs Kentucky 19 years old PG

2011-12 stats: 32.6 mpg, 10 ppg, 4.8 apg, 2.7 tpg, 2.5 rpg, 41%fg, 32%3pt, 71%ft

Projection: should go in the early 20’s

Strengths: Marquis Teague has elite quickness and athletic ability. Excels in transition and has the ability to create for others and finish at the rim himself. Has good size and weight for a point guard and at 19 years old, his body will fill out more. Can breakdown the defender and get in the paint at will. With his size and athletic ability, he showed flashes of being an elite defender.

Weaknesses: Needs to work on his decision making with the basketball, a issue that most young guards have. He loves to play and up and down type of game, but will have to get better running a team in the halfcourt. Teams played off of him because his lack of a jump shot. If he can ever shoot the ball consistently, like Tony Parker did….watch out.
