Brandon Kintzler Jersey .500 for the first time this season when they take on the Bucks in Milwaukee.Acquired in a summer trade with Atlanta, Teague is averaging just 8.3 points per game, well below the 15.1 points per game he averaged in his previous five seasons with the Hawks. But the most glaring item in Teagues stat line so far: a 22 percent shooting percentage, including a 0.67 percent mark from beyond the 3-point arc through his first four games with the Pacers.Its been tough, Teague told the Indianapolis Star earlier this week.Its way different than any team Ive played on in the past, Teague said. Weve got a lot of talent, but its just different. It just is. Everything is different, the concepts; everything is totally different. Im just trying to get used to it.Teague has been making up for his poor shooting with other parts of his game. Hes averaging 7.2 assists with 3.8 rebounds per game and his teammates are confident that the seven-year veteran will find a comfort level in Indiana and start to revert to form.Hes been an All-Star, Paul George said of Teague. Hell fight through it. Hell get an understanding of how our offense is and what shots hell get. Hell be better. Were not worried about that.Milwaukee, meanwhile, is getting an unexpected boost from rookie point guard Malcom Brodgon.A second-round pick out of Virginia in this summers draft, Brogdon has quickly developed into a vital part of the Bucks rotation early in the season, scoring 7.5 points with 2.5 assists in 18.1 minutes through Milwaukees first four games.Hes not really like a rookie, guard Matthew Dellavedova told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel after Milwaukees 117-113 victory at New Orleans Tuesday night. Hes very mature. He knows how to play the game; he works hard every day.Brodgons potential playing time increased when Michael Carter-Williams was traded to Chicago late in the exhibition season. He played 23 minutes against Indiana in the preseason finale and finished with 13 points, seven rebounds and three assists.Tuesday night at New Orleans, Brogdon scored 14 in 23 minutes and was on the floor down the stretch as the Bucks closed out the Pelicans to move to .500 for the first time this season.Im more and more comfortable, for sure, Brogdon said. I think its all about experience. Its about time on the floor.And then I think its once you get on the floor, its having the confidence to make shots and execute the right way. I have a lot of trust from coach Kidd. He believes in me and so do my teammates.We have great vets -- Jet (Jason Terry) and Steve Novak. Theyre always talking to me. Its very helpful when you have people that believe in you and want you to do well.The Pacers won the season series with Milwaukee, 3-1, last season with Paul George averaging 22.0 points, 7.7 rebounds and 5.7 assists in those meetings.Giannis Antetokounmpo leads Milwaukee with 23.3 points per game in 2016-17 and averaged 16.0 points and 6.5 boards against the Pacers last season.
