So what "VET PG" do we go after?

Maybe he's referring to this?

remember "he knows nothing"

Yeah but he knows what other people know before I know.

Whomever we get, it's going to be in the Steve Blake vein of "jesus, I guess it's not the end of the world for 15 minutes" player.

From what I've seen in SL, it isn't Smith. I like how Nolan looked in Game 2, but he's proving in my mind to be a pure SG at the NBA level. If he were 6'5 instead of 6'2, there wouldn't even be a debate about it.

OK you posted that twice. Are you seeing something on Twitter that makes you believe that?

Nope

Honestly hadn't seen that. I heard it from someone at work

The question now is he good enough to be our 3rd string PG. Or do we need to find 2 PGs before the season starts?
It sounds like he has been working hard to improve his game. But at which position? The fact that he has not actually played the PG position in the SL does not help tell us for sure if he has also improved as a PG. We can guess, but do we know for sure? Again it sucks if he is out the rest of the week, but at least the coaches should know.

Sac just got a vet backup to play in front of Jimmer. I'd be interested.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

IF you have a choice between Price and Watson, how is this even a debate? CJ is clearly the better option.

 

[blazedanugz]

What about Courtney lee? He can play pg 10-15 mins a game

I never doubted you for a second.

 

[illmatic99]

meh. Just glad it isn't Fisher.

Why should you be different? Never stand out, it's how to get through middle school

 

[MickZagger]

I actually kinda like Ronnie Price. He's not as bad as this board is about to say he is as soon as they see the signing.

 

[PapaG]

Pretty obvious who the starting PG is going to be, eh? Let's hope nothing happens to Lillard, because a Price/Nolan Smith rotation at PG just may be enough for me to check out for a season.

Is he a good PG? No. He's not a complete scrub. I dont mind giving him spot minutes like he had with the Suns and Jazz in years past.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

He can jump, I guess...

He has experience. That's the most positive thing I'm going to say about him. If it's for the vet minimum, it's fine with me. I certainly expect nothing of value from Price on the court, so anything he does well will be a pleasant surprise.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Signing Price is fine. Not much else out there for 2 ish million a year.

I watched him quite a bit when he was in Utah. Inconsistent like most players off the bench, but he is not bad. Very quick, good hops, decent defender, had games where he was hot from behind the line.

Not sure about the play making skills. Hard to judge Jazz PG's when they go to another system.

Sometimes you just have to go out on a limb and put it out there and let the chips fall where they may.

fixed.
