To find out more about Petteway, The Sports Rabbi was in touch with a number of former teammates who shared their thoughts about what he brings to the table.

Texas Tech Teammates:
Biggie Minnis: TP is a good guy. We only played one year in college together but we still talk til this day. The one year I played with him he showed he could really put the ball in the hoop. Also was very athletic and could lock down on defense. I want the fans to know Hapoel Eilat have a good one!

Jordan Tolbert: I’d say he was one the most passionate teammates I had played with one of the best shooters he plays with a chip on his shoulder.

Nebraska Teammates:
Deverell Biggs: Terran Petteway is the hardest working teammate I ever had! In college, he was in the gym early morning, evenings after practice & at night. He was definitely someone that inspired me to play hard like him to match his level of play. Great friend off the court, great father… you guys going to love what he bring to your ball club.

Jaime Smith: I enjoyed playing with Terran. He’s one of the most talented offensive players that I’ve played with. He can score at all levels (basket, mid-range and outside). He’s a great weapon to have on any team.

Pistoia Teammates:
Nathan Boothe: I loved playing with him. He was a great teammate on an off the court. He got along with everyone. Very competitive, a high energy person. Extremely hard worker. Wants to win every time he steps on the court whether it’s practice or games.

Zabian Dowdell: Terran is a very talented player who wants to win more than anything. He’s also a great teammate who takes pride in being the best in his role for the team.

Chris Roberts: GREAT PLAYER , TOUGH AND ATHLETIC. ALWAYS PLAYS WITH A CHIP ON HIS SHOULDER AND SOMETIMES MISUNDERSTOOD. HE IS A GREAT FRIEND OF MINE AND I HAVE MUCH RESPECT FOR HIS GAME. TERRAN AND I ARE VERY SIMILAR TO HOW WE PREPARE FOR A GAME AND HOW WE RECOVER FROM A BAD GAME. HE IS A VERY HARD WORKER AND DEMANDS A LOT FROM HIMSELF EACH NIGHT. I HAVE SO MUCH GREAT THINGS TO SAY ABOUT HIM. MOST IMPORTANTLY I’M PROUD OF HIS DEVELOPMENT AS A PERSON AS WELL AS HIS PROFESSIONALISM.

Nanterre Teammates:
Jamar Wilson: I was fortunate enough to play with him, he’s really skilled, he’s one of the most skilled players I played with, super athletic, he can shoot, dribble and defend, he just played super hard so I’m super happy for him. Good guy off the court as well, I’m really, really happy for him.

Jamal Shuler: TP that’s my little brother!! Happy for him and I know he’s going to do well in the Winner League! Terran is a competitor and a hard worker and has one of the best jump shots I’ve ever seen in my life! I wish him all the best and a good and healthy season!

Peristeri teammates:
Danny Agbelese: Great guy!!! Focused on winning. Can hit any shot very crafty humble and quiet shows up to work plays thru anything. Can see passes and make passes also can play defense

Ian Miller: He’s one of the best defenders and teammates I’ve played with and a great character guy. A Hell of a competitor and will play at a higher level playing with coach this season in Eilat.

Steven Gray: First he is a genuine guy and good father. He is a caring teammate with a competitive, hungry, mentality on the court. Super athletic, can score in a bunch of ways, plays super physical, and tough. He played through so many injuries over the years I was teammates with him and he has the ability to guard at an elite level. Tp is one of my favorite people.

Sassari Teammate:
Leslee Smith: Love that guy man, he’s a true competitor, wants to win, plays his heart out every time he steps on the floor. He’s a hard worker plays with a chip on his shoulder. Will be a great piece to any program that needs someone who can get a bucket and plays at a high level, I got nothing but love for him!
