Utah Jazz: Backup point guard contenders both look good

Knight - Price | 8:19 a.m. Oct. 11, 2008
Price is a unique hustle man/energy solution man who can just plain score and play the game. He will dive on the floor for balls. Knight is a point gaurd who will not make many mistakes and he seems to be quick. O'donnel has brought us some gaurds now.

Comparing early stats, it seems Knight has the edge on Price, because of the assists. Knight is used to giving assists as he's been a PG during his career, while Price didn't look all that assist-worthy last year, and so far this year.

Barring injuries to them, I see Knight as D-Will's primary backup most nights. Price can do things Knight can't, so he'll still get minutes. He won't be just a bench warmer. Sloan rewards people who work and can hustle on the court. Why else would Collins still be around? Not because of his talent.

We've had two preseason games. I hardly call that grounds to declare a winner of the 8 minutes per game backup point guard sweepstakes. One thing is for sure: anything is an improvement over Hart. Price showed he could play 8 minutes a game last year and not destroy the offense. Knight has proven by his play on teams in the past that he very likely could do the same. The fact we don't have to agonize about how to dispose of Hart is an upgrade over last year already.
