Ronnie Price is the perfect 3rd point guard. When guys are dogging it or playing like garbage, he's a burst of energy that will come in and change the complexion of 4-5 games per year.

What are the chances that a team in the NBA would have 2 PGs from small (in terms of sports) Utah schools, UVSC (at the time) and Weber State. That's pretty damn cool.
