In a move the Chicago Bulls will announce either later Tuesday or Wednesday, first-round pick Marquis Teague has signed his rookie contract and will travel from his hometown of Indianapolis to Chicago to begin workouts on Wednesday. “It feels good to finally get it out of the way,” Teague said in a phone interview. “I just want to get in the gym and start working out.” Teague was the last first-round pick to sign his deal, which are typically formalities because of slotted contracts depending on draft selections. However, it's standard practice in the NBA for first-round picks to receive 120 percent of the slotted amount.
