Mirza Teletovic Back in Phoenix

Jason Kidd loves to give his players the chance to show their old team why they should have kept them in the organization. It doesn’t always go well, but on Saturday night, Mirza showed the upside to this recurring theme under Kidd.

The bench has struggled for weeks now, needing to produce more points. Teletovic made plays on all multiple levels, something a shooter can only do when they bring a little extra intensity to the floor.

He scored using a post move, pump-faked himself into a mid-range jumper or two, and dialed in his fair share of long balls from behind the arc. Mirza scored 19 points while shooting 6-10 from the field, 2-5 from three, and 5-5 from the line.

Teletovic rounded his game out by adding three rebounds and three assists. A very nice showing for the former Phoenix Sun.
