4. Jeff Teague can pass and hit the open man
When it comes to reducing his workload, James not only needs help with scoring and bringing the ball upcourt, but he also needs someone else who can be a floor general and get the ball where it needs to go.
Teague can do that.
In his 11 NBA seasons, he has a career average of 5.8 assists per game. He has put up at least seven dimes a game in five of his NBA seasons.
In fact, when you look at his per-36 average, it gets even better, as he has averaged 7.6 assists a game.
With a lifetime average of 2.3 turnovers a game, Teague also does a solid job of protecting the ball and minimizing mistakes.
Bringing the ball upcourt and setting up the offense takes a lot out of you, especially when you have tons of mileage on you as James does. Being able to share those duties with a player like Teague would really help reduce the wear and tear on James as the season wears on.
