Jeff Teague spent 12 years in the NBA and experienced a lot, including a championship with the Milwaukee Bucks.
Even though he’s now retired from the league, the guard still loves basketball and likes to give his opinion about it.
According to Bleacher Report, via NBACentral, Teague listed his top 10 point guards in the league right now.
His list consists of Jamal Murray, Jalen Brunson, De’Aaron Fox, Trae Young, and Ja Morant in spots ten through six.
The top five, according to Teague, are Kyrie Irving of the Dallas Mavericks, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Damian Lillard of the Portland Trail Blazers, Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks, and finally Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors.

This is a smart list that most people will agree with.
It’s not shocking to see Curry sitting at the top because, even after so many years, few players can reach the heights of Curry’s talent, especially from all over the court.
Doncic is another guard who is celebrated by just about everyone so his taking the second spot on this list also isn’t surprising.
It is exciting to see Teague give love to Fox and Brunson.
Over the last few seasons, these two have really grown into their own and helped their teams reach the postseason.
Fox’s Sacramento Kings are now playoff contenders after decades away and Brunson’s New York Knicks have built a very special core that could find them a lot of success far into the future.
This list proves that Teague really knows basketball – and also that there are a lot of great point guards in the league.
