The Bulls will unveil Marquis Teague and his No. 25 jersey at a Monday morning news conference at the Berto Center. Teague spent Friday, the day after the Bulls used the 29th pick on a player they hope can be Derrick Rose’s long-term backup, in the gym with his older brother, Hawks point guard Jeff. “I’m excited,” Marquis Teague said from Indianapolis. “I love getting in the gym and working.” Jeff knows Marquis’ game as well as anyone, as a veteran of countless backyard battles outside their Indianapolis home. “He’s a really strong, athletic driver,” Jeff said by phone. “He’s a pass-first point guard. Going to Kentucky helped him a lot. He can shoot it, drive it. He’s a really hard worker. I was surprised he became a great defender because he really never played defense in high school. The way he defended really impressed me.”
