Current Rating: 60 Deserves a decrease. PER of 9.3. BPM of -4.5. For a team that's pretty desperate for some outside shooting, Teletovic is only getting 16.3 MPG, effectively their 11th man.

I don't think this is his fault. His minutes are mostly due to his defensive limitations and because of Kidds dumb lineups. It's also pretty hard to play him beside a poor rim protector like Greg Monroe or even beside another poor defender like Jabari. He's still guarded out at the 3 pt line and shooting 35% from out there. I'm sure if he was in a better situation he'd be keeping up with last year's production.
He can't be any worse than Korver, who just got reduced to a 60

He can't play alongside Henson? In theory, a lineup of Delly-Khris/Snell/Brogdon-Giannis-Mirza-Henson should work, right? Put the ball in Giannis' hands. Good shooters around him at the 1, the 2, and the 4. Henson sets picks and rim runs. On D, Henson rim protects. Hide Mirza on the worse forward. Giannis on the other. The guards are capable with their assignments.
And he is worse than Korver. Despite his decline, Korver is still shooting 45% from 3. Mirza is over 10 percentage points below that. He grades worse in every one-number metric as well.

But like I said, Kidd is dumb with his lineups and the combination of Henson, Giannis and Teletovic have played 0 minutes together this season. Henson and Teletovic barely play together too, combining for like 40 some min all season (ranked 2nd and 3rd least used lineups all year). So I think there is some validity to the argument that he isn't in an ideal situation for his skillset
