Utah Jazz: Maynor, Price still battling to be backup point

Eugene | 5:05 a.m. Oct. 17, 2009

Ronnie has an excitement and endearment that few on the team has to light up the crowd. Maynor is definitely on his way to playing minutes. Tough choice so I'm glad both are on the team.

By the way it's Brevin Knight, not Brevin Hart. Proofreading is usually a good practice for professional journalists.

Love Price, but you gotta give the minutes to Maynor. 4 to 1 assist to turnover ratio, so far. He looks so smooth and confident when he's out there. Steal of the draft (I agree with Chad Ford).

Interesting Story | 6:52 a.m. Oct. 17, 2009

Though I am not sure about one of the last three paragraphs. Seems like the author's Hart was so involved in the story he did not proof read. For instance "But after playing mostly behind former No. 2 points Jason Hart and Brevin Hart during his first two seasons with the Jazz."

I'll bet Brevin really appreciated the name change.

Maynor will sit... | 8:21 a.m. Oct. 17, 2009

...because he's a rookie. If Sloan sits someone like Deron Williams his rookie year, he'll keep Maynor on the bench as well.

Ronnie | 10:15 a.m. Oct. 17, 2009

Go Price!

Miles | 10:17 a.m. Oct. 17, 2009

Maynor will never play enough minutes during the regular season to really matter. Jerry needs to learn to limit Dwill's minutes on back-to-backs on the road and give Maynor and Price more minutes.

Hey all you proof readers! Give it up! Mistakes happen in writing. Move on and don't let your day be ruined by a error in the paper.

Sloan reality | 11:41 a.m. Oct. 17, 2009

Sloan would have sat Michael Jordan his rookie season. He sure doesn't foster talent that well. The reality is and will be Price as the backup.

Let the better man play, or play both. If it is too close to make the decision right away then rotate them and see in the season who will be your playmaker.

Sloan was Michael Jordan's head coach his rookie season, Michael started, get your facts straight. Sloan will play the best player, no matter who it is, yes even a rookie signed Deron Williams

me | 8:49 p.m. Oct. 17, 2009

I think they will both play some minutes, but ronnie is now in his 5th season and is a player that will play his heart out the entire time he is in the game. He deserves at least 15 minutes a game this season if not more!

No question ... Go with Price! | 10:26 p.m. Oct. 17, 2009

Ronnie is a better player and plays harder than anyone in the NBA! He would be the starting point guard or shooting guard on several NBA teams!

Price vs. Maynor | 5:11 p.m. Oct. 18, 2009

I'll say that Price has earned it. But I like what I see with Maynor. I'll be happy with whoever becomes our backup!

Go Jazz!

Maynor, if John Drew could hit that runner into the lane, so can you. Drew threw a frozen rope off the square, and let the rim help the ball into the strings. Since you have touch, you should make a higher percentage. Use the glass, what do you have to lose? Your floater stinks, but off the glass you would be 55%.
Also, if AK47 can gain weight and strength, so can you.

maynor is a good team player and will follow what the coach thinks is best...in my opinion! when his moment comes though, he will shine. good person. i like price, too, and i think they are good to go in the point guard position.... utah should be good to go in the west....vcu baby

Umm, 24 pts, 4 assists, 3 rebounds tonight for Maynor. 13 pts 11 assists the night before. Maynor needs to be in the game with D Will.
