Utah Jazz: Price to start as shooting guard tonight

a quicker price? | 4:29 p.m. Oct. 15, 2009

Its possible, I think he put in more training than anyone else on the team. I think it was a survival tactic mixed with some desperation.

I am really excited to see him get his chance. I am glad the Jazz decided to give him a chance and brought him back for just over a million a year, that is a STEAL!

Come on Ron P lets see what this bigger and faster body can do.

Price is possibly the most entertaining Jazz player to watch. Obviously hes not the most talented but he is so aggresive and energetic that it makes up for it. If you havent seen it you should youtube his dunk over Boozer when he was with the Kings, or his huge block on Luke Walton in the 2008 playoffs.

Why he was benched | 5:38 p.m. Oct. 15, 2009

I'm still not convinced he can consistently contribute.

Last year Price had a lock on the backup PG slot but his poor decision doomed him. In Nov/Dec he had a two week stretch of reckless play, costly gambles on defense and poor shot selection that culminated in his season-long benching. I think Sloan's decision to go with the also-painful-to-watch Knight came down to being able to stomach the steady bad play more than the unpredictable volatility.
