Big numbers on the court and zilch at his back, that's Jeff Teague for you. The sophomore from the Demon Deacons selected number zero to be his jersey number.

Jeff Teague, who is habitual of scoring big numbers at the court, surprised everyone with his jersey number selection, which was inspired from Gilbert Arenas of Washington Wizards. Teague too wants to follow the Washington guard and prove his critic wrong.

6 foot 2 inches guard Teague is a big time scorer and leads the ACC in scoring with 19.6 points per game. He is also shooting 53.6 percent, including a whopping 51.5 on 3-point tries. Teague is second in the nation in terms of steals, with 29 steals to his name, trailing behind UNC's Ty Lawson.

In their upcoming match against the Tar Heels, Wake will be depending on Teague and his back court mates Smith and Williams. It is up to these three Deacons to stand up against Lawson.

The Deacons haven't lost a match this season, and match up very well with UNC in the backcourt and overall game as well.

Teague had to play point guard for the Deacons because of a foot injury to Smith. He played at point guard for Pike High in Indianapolis. But where ever he is, he remains in the spot light.

Teague is one of the best guards in the nation. Teague is athletic, fast and has an explosive game. He has already dropped 31 points on UNC-Wilmington this season and 30 in Wake's road win at BYU.

Teague has improved manifolds from the last season; he has added a lot of skills and some weight too. Last season when Teague was named to the All-ACC freshman team, he was skinny, weighed 165-pound rookie and averaged 13.9 points a game. And this season he is up to 184 pounds, more strong and scoring 19.6 points per game.

Teague has always been very competitive and doesn't take defeat too well, no matter how small the margin is. Being sporty and competitive is something that he inherits from his father Shawn Teague, who was a college ball player at Boston University and Missouri. Marcus, Younger brother of Jeff, is a sophomore and a standout ore guard at Pike High.

Wake recruiters spotted Teague's talent early and included him in their program. Teague too preferred Wake's program over that of Kansas and Indiana.

If he keeps scoring with the same average, even with a zero at his back, then we might see more players wanting to have a zero behind their back as well.
