Price won't make the team. He's slow. Don't get excited and he's totally the wrong player for our system.

Re: 2nd round pick
I'm really just looking for a silver lining somewhere.
All we have to show for tonight is Hansbrough and Price. Teams are getting better and rebuilding the right way like the Griz, Wolves and Thunder and we're just stuck in mediocrity with these "safe" picks that will help us win now. My question is win now for what? We're no where near the win now stage. Draft a player on potential and hope he turns into a star. God knows we need that in Indiana to bring some of these fans back. Or is Hansbrough gonna do that from the bench?

Can't say I'm too thrilled with that pick either, but it's the second round. Late second round.

Price can shoot can't he? If he can shoot the 3, he'll fit right into O'Brien's system.

He's slow. Never ran a fast paced offense. Commits tons of turnovers in a very slow and safe offense, i can't imagine how he'd do in a fast paced offense.
I really need to a good laugh, i'm hoping we trade Ford so we can go into the season with Jack, Diener and Price as the PG's.... LMAO!

Re: 2nd round pick
I'm struggling with this one a little. Another four year player. One possibility, Price was coming back from a serious knee injury his senior year. Maybe thinking the real player won't be on display until year two years after the injury. Same as B Rush and C Landry. At 52 its a reach one way or another.

With Mills still on the board, I think it's a poor choice.

Re: 2nd round pick
I wanted De Colo. Price strikes me as a throw away pick and not likely to be more than camp fodder.

Re: 2nd round pick
Hmm, Grang33er you are continuing to display your lack of AJ Price knowledge. UConn's offense is very fast paced. Every year they have the most athletic team in the country and get up and down the court any chance they get. He will make the team, if Diener can play in the NBA, AJ Price can and will
