Marquis Teague is finally meeting the expectations set for a Calipari point guard, and that is evident by his recent performance at Vanderbilt.
John Calipari is more than excited about his freshman point guard from Indianapolis as Mike Miller from NBC Sports writes:

Watching the freshman point guard log 37 minutes during Saturday’s win at Vanderbilt and dish eight assists and commit just one turnover indicates the kid can thrive in tough spots. Yes, he had five turnovers just days before in a blowout vs. Florida, but his assist-to-turnover ratio’s gone from 2-1 to 3-1 in the last eight games.
