We don't have to do this again. There's no way he's No. 9. Let's just say attaboy to Teague and wish him well.
Even with as good of a year he is having right now he is 17th in PER for PGs and tied for 15th in EWA. Solidly mid-tier in the two main advanced all encompassing stats. But yeah but just like a bell curve after the top 7 or 8 elite guys the difference becomes more negligible for the the next 10-12 guys.

Agree...no one is saying that being rated (in our opinion) around 12-15 is a bad thing...christ, that means you are a better guard then those on 50% of the teams in the league.
12-15 is a stretch. Maybe if you consider the injuries? Kyrie, Lawson, Curry, CP, Conley, Rubio, Holiday, Dragic, Bledsoe, Lillard, Parker, Wall all better. DWill, Rondo, Rose, now Westbrook injured. Kemba/Calderon/Lowry and some of the younger guys (Burke?/MCW?) could eventually usurp Teague.
Dude is good enough to start and has his moments and is definitely not among the worst point guards.
I live for this thread.
Rubio is having an awful year. Not a defensive stud, one of the worst shooters in the league (his .356 career FG% is historically bad), and his assist rate has gone down. Only 2 years younger than Teague and I'm not sure if he'll ever have a year as good as Teague is having this year. Lots of hype and flash plays, not much production.
