Marquis Teague expressed an understanding at his role in the Bulls rotation. |
"You have to be patient," Teague said. "I'm 19. I'm trying to grow as a player and wait for my turn. Playing a lot of minutes in college and not getting to play as much is something I never experienced. But you have to fight through it." Teague's playing time will become even more nonexistent when Derrick Rose returns, so at least the rookie has the right attitude. |

Tom Thibodeau praised Marquis Teague, saying the rookie is "playing well." |
The Bulls have been banged up at the point position this season, and Teague's been called into action earlier than many had thought. However, with Kirk Hinrich (knee) expected to play Monday, Nate Robinson will resume backing him up, and Teague will be relegated to third-string PG duties. Teague is only on the radar in deeper formats because Hinrich is prone to injuries. |

Tom Thibodeau would not commit to giving Marquis Teague more minutes. |
Teague played 20 minutes on Wednesday with six points, two boards, four assists and two steals, but Thibodeau isn't sure how he'll use his rookie in the future. It was a season-high in minutes for Teague, who has been a DNP-Coach's Decision regularly this season. With Kirk Hinrich (knee) currently sidelined, Teague should see a short-term bump in minutes. |
