Timberwolves Move Jeff Teague To Bench, Start Jarrett Culver At Point Guard

[RealGM Wiretap]

The Minnesota Timberwolves moved Jeff Teague to the bench, with Jarrett Culver starting at point guard.

Ryan Saunders and Teague discussed the move over the weekend, sources told Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic. Teague was open to the idea due to Andrew Wiggins initiating most of the offense in the starting lineup.

Saunders confirmed Monday night that Teague introduced the idea of coming off the bench.

Culver is shooting 36% from the field. He’s averaging 2.2 assists & 1.4 TO per game plus almost 9 points in 23 min.

And he’s the new starting PG??!? Wow. Glad the Suns made the “mistake” of passing on him for Cam Johnson...
