ANALYSIS: Mirza Teletovic's career never quite took off in Brooklyn. He only started 11 games in three seasons, and failed to make a significant impact with the Nets. Now with the Suns, Teletovic is looking to improve. While his minutes are slightly down from last year, his numbers per 36 minutes are up. He is averaging career-highs in points, assists and blocks per 36. He is also committing career-lows in turnovers and fouls per 36 minutes. Teletovic is seeing more minutes as of late, with double-digit minutes in each of the last 12 games. As a result, the forward from Yugoslavia has scored at least 10 points in eight of those games. While the Suns' frontcourt is relatively deep, it lacks star power, so Teletovic should have the opportunity to earn a larger role. He's a long-shot for significant value right now, but he is someone to keep an eye on if his minutes do increase.
