The more games I watch the more I think we should just roll with Marquis Teague and get him as much experience as we can. Nate Robinson is so incredibly frustrating to watch... the game against Brooklyn featured the typical highs and lows from Robinson... chasing down Marshawn Brooks for a nice block... blowing a 4 on 1 break by throwing an incredibly stupid pass over his shoulder to no one. Robinson isn't particularly good at facilitating the offense, but can obviously catch fire and look like a star in spurts.
I say let's roll with Teague. He can get to the rack and has shown himself to be decently savvy with the ball in limited minutes. He's at least as good if not better than Robinson in the open court already. Robinson can shoot from outside and Teague dosn't appear to have any confidence from range (he's passed up any and all 3 point opportunities that I've seen... hasn't hit any on the season on limited attempts)... on a terrible 3 point shooting team that may be a detriment but if he's playing next to Bellineli maybe it won't hurt us too much. Teague's defense will undoubtedly be a weakness as a rookie but it can't possibly be that much worse than Robinson's. When Hinrich comes back I'm ready for 30 minutes of Kirk and 18 minutes of Teague at the 1...
