Johnson & Teague Introduced

Wake Forest's James Johnson and Jeff Teague have both been officially introduced to their new teams. Teague was introduced in Atlanta on Friday, while Johnson was unveiled in Chicago on Monday (along with fellow first round Bulls draft pick Taj Gibson).

Johnson was the No. 16 pick in last week's draft by the Bulls. Maybe coincidentally, he will wear #16 on his Bulls jersey. Johnson's collegiate number (#23) is sort of off-limits in Chi-town.

Teague was picked three spots later at No. 19 by the Hawks. Deacon Zero will stick with his signature jersey #0. The Associated Press details Teague's decision to don the digit.

Good luck to both James and Jeff as they embark on their professional careers.
