Marquis Devante Teague (born February 28, 1993) is an American professional basketball player for the Memphis Hustle of the NBA G League. He was one of the top-rated high school basketball players in the class of 2011.
High school career
In July 2010, Teague, along with future Kentucky teammate Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, were a part of the gold medal-winning team in the FIBA U-17 World Championships in Hamburg, Germany.[1]
Considered a five-star recruit by Rivals.com, Teague was listed as the No. 1 point guard and the No. 5 player in the nation in 2011. He was a part of the Indiana versus Kentucky All-stars game.[2]
College career
Teague committed to Kentucky on April 22, 2010.
In the first game of the 2011–12 season and his career as a Wildcat, Teague started and scored 16 points on 7 of 12 shooting. One of Teague's best performances of the season came against the Portland Pilots, a game where he scored 14 points, had a career high of eight assists, and a career high of 4 steals, all while committing no turnovers and shooting 5 of 6 from the free throw line. Against the Louisville Cardinals, Teague scored just 4 points on 1 of 8 shooting, but did dish out 5 assists and played good defense on Louisville point guard Peyton Siva, who shot 2 of 13 from the field. Teague helped Kentucky win their 8th national championship.
