Al Horford: "We have the 23rd pick and I know the team will draft the best player available. I would like to pick a shooter like Kentucky's Doron Lamb. But it wouldn't bother me if they picked a big who could help me like Festus Ezeli (Vanderbilt). Anyway, I doubt they will pick Jeff Teague's brother, Marquis Teague." Primera Hora

Jeff Teague will start at point guard for the Hawks tonight against the Hornets. Teague said he felt “fine” despite the sprained ankle that limited him during Friday’s win against Pistons. “Jeff is a go,” coach Larry Drew said before the game. “He was moving around on it pretty good yesterday. He hasn’t mentioned that it is bothering him to the point that we have to limit him. We’ll keep an eye on him. Right now, he is a full go.” Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Drew said he would split reserve minutes between Kirk Hinrich and Jannero Pargo. “He has been playing really well for us,” Drew said of Pargo. “That’s why we got him.” Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Teague said he’s not considering another pro league. Instead, he said he plans to enroll at Wake Forest in the spring to work on finishing his communications degree if the lockout drags on. Teague, who entered the draft after his second college season, said he’s already enrolled in an online course. “I think I need to get in the classroom so I can have a little more focus,” he said, laughing. “I end up having to email the teacher a lot, like, ‘Can I have a make-up?’” Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Wake Forest president Nathan Hatch sent a letter to the Wake Forest community acknowledging that a NBC "Today Show" segment airing Thursday morning will feature a former student who alleged that two former Wake Forest basketball players sexually assaulted her in 2009. Hatch said that the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) would prevent the university from discussing the specifics of the case. But he added that "I can assure you the University takes these issues seriously, has a well-established Code of Conduct and has procedures for hearing alleged violations of that Code of Conduct. In addition, Wake Forest offers significant resources to support our students in times of need." The attorney for the two former Wake players said Tuesday night both of his clients were cleared of any wrongdoing by a school hearing and an investigation by the Miami police department into the alleged assault hours after the Demon Deacons were upset by Cleveland State on March 20, 2009, in the first round of the NCAA tournament in Miami.

Winston-Salem attorney Mike Grace told ESPN.com he represented former players Jeff Teague, now a member of the Atlanta Hawks, and Gary Clark, in the case that was adjudicated two years ago but is now coming to light again when the alleged victim appears on the Today Show. Grace said Teague's agent, Mike Conley, has endorsed Grace speaking on the matter. The alleged victim also participated in the campus hearing, according to Grace. The alleged victim's allegations prompted multiple statements by the highest-level of the Wake Forest administration and athletic department Tuesday. ESPN.com

A former Wake Forest University student who will appear Thursday on NBC’s The Today Show filed a complaint in 2009 alleging that former WFU basketball player Gary Clark sexually assaulted her in a hotel bathroom while teammate Jeff Teague stood outside the door, according to a report from the Miami Police Department. No charges were filed, the report said, because prosecutors said they didn’t have enough physical evidence, the woman’s report was delayed and the players claimed the incident was consensual.

Nathan Hatch, president of Wake Forest University, issued a statement today that the university “is taking appropriate action” to address the allegation. Clark finished his senior year with the team this spring, and Teague now plays for the Atlanta Hawks in the National Basketball Association. Clark has not yet responded to a voice mail message left on his cell phone, and Teague had not responded to a message left with a family member asking for comment. The student had traveled with the Wake Forest basketball team to Miami in March 2009 for that year’s NCAA Tournament. The Winston-Salem Journal does not publish the names of alleged victims of sexual assault. Winston-Salem Journal

According to the report, the student told investigators that on the morning of March 21 she was heading back to her hotel room when she ran into Teague, who was sitting in the hallway. They talked and Clark joined them, the report said. Clark and Teague asked her questions about performing oral sex, and she told Teague that she liked him, the report said. Teague asked her if she wanted to go to his hotel room with them, and they did, the report said. Clark and the student went into the bathroom, and Teague closed the door and stayed outside, the report said. Winston-Salem Journal

The student said that Clark dropped his pants and asked her to touch his penis. She refused, then Clark asked her to perform oral sex on him, the report said. The student told investigators that she did perform oral sex on Clark because she felt she had no choice, according to the report. Afterward, Teague walked her back to her hotel room and asked her what happened. When she told him, Teague hugged her, kissed her on the neck and left. Winston-Salem Journal

Former Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich, now with the Atlanta Hawks, hasn't been able to play in this Eastern Conference semifinal series because of a hamstring injury. But his replacement, 22-year-old Jeff Teague, is receiving helpful tips from the veteran Hinrich during this series. "He tells me to go out and play my game and little tips here and there when I am on the bench," Teague said Tuesday night. "He’s just a good teammate, a good guy to be around. He’s always positive."

The first issue is point guard, where starter Kirk Hinrich isn't expected to play during the best-of-seven series. Jeff Teague could take Hinrich's place since he's best suited to defend Chicago's Derrick Rose. Drew said he's also considering starting veteran Jamal Crawford, who hasn't started a game in his two seasons for Atlanta. Drew and predecessor Mike Woodson have favored Crawford's scoring off the bench. Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Coaches and teammates believed Teague’s confidence was damaged, but he insists that wasn’t the case. “I’m fine,” he said. “I am always going to stay confident. If you lose your confidence in this league, you will be out soon.” Drew said a lack of consistency prevented Teague from joining the rotation. “That being said, I will never give up on him,” Drew said. “I still believe in his ability. I know that when he plays with consistency, he’s a totally different player and we’re a totally different team. I see something in him that I really like.” Atlanta Journal-Constitution
