Good news for those hoping for an Okafor sighting. He currently has 17 pts, 2 assist and 0 rebounds in 11 minutes. Still 5 minutes to play.
Twolves win again tonight (they are quickly turning into one of the top teams in the league). Jeff Teague plays 33 minutes with 12 points and 8 assists, good numbers for sure, but a +- of -3. Tyus Jones plays 15 minutes, gets 7 points and 4 assists, but posts a +- of +13 (tops on the team).
There is simply no denying that the TWolves play better with Tyus at PG... the evidence is ample.

Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?
The Wolves should trade Teague for a better Center and they’d be ready to rock.
you just can't help the TWolves...they drafted Kris Dunn because he looked the part...now more of the same...I swear, it's just that Jones doesn't look like a really good PG, doesn't jump that high or run that fast, but he's savvy like a den full of foxes...some day a team will recognize his value and trade for him...
Jeff Teague probably would beat Tyus one on one 99% of the time, but basketball is not just a one on one game. As Jason is trying to point out, Tyus often has a better +/- than Teague, and usually a better +/- per40 as well. Those are strong indications that Tyus is a better player for the Twolves.
Look, guys, I’m almost as much a wolves fan as a duke fan, and I do prefer tyus on our team. But I’m not going to question playing Jeff Teague as long as tyus continues to play well off the bench; tyus will still be there when Jeff isn’t. Tyus/Wiggins/Towns is a championship core.

KD is a bad matchup for almost anyone, but with Jordan at the 5 you can do things to hide KAT on defense.
The point is the team is better with Tyus as PG so might as well use Teague to upgrade their second big man.
