To me it's best to have three PGs. We all hate smallball, but to a certain extent the bigs on the roster can compensate for the loss of a big, especially if Sampson is around. Bringing the ball up the floor and handling pressure is not a replacable trait. If, God forbid, Bibby or Hart goes down the Kings will need a backup PG.
And Ronnie Price has to be that guy?

he may be soft enough with no inside ability to overcome his height.piksi said:

I voted for Luke, and it's simply wishful thinking because Luke's signature was the only one my son was able to get at Fandemonium!

If Sampson is 12, then 13 would logically be a PG. Not much has changed there. Only problem is that both of our candidates for that position have looked like crap in their only preseason action thus far. Would I trust either Ronnie Price or Luis Flores to run our team in a regular season game at the moment? Not on your life. And if that's true, why keep them? So even if #13 is a PG, if Price or Flores does not impress here in the next few games I don't think its out of the question for us to look outside of campn for that guy.
Bah; I'd much rather trust Garcia to be the third PG option than either one of those guys, and I may be the only guy here who isn't impressed by Garcia...

I'd rather sign a vet point guard put Flores and Price in NBDL, see who comes out better next year then take him up.

price hands down
He wouldn't have made the team. As weak as our teams have occasionally been otherwise, Tech has had a history of recruiting quality point guards; Price wouldn't have made the practice squad at Tech.
If Price were good enough to play PG for Paul Hewitt, we wouldn't be voting on whether or not he'd be the 13th man, that's for darned sure...

Definitely in terms of consistency; I mean, it's certainly fair to say that Deron Williams is better than Jarret Jack, for example, but chances are that Tech will recruit at least three more NBA-level PG's before Illinois gets another one.
Schensher can block shots. Who else on this team, besides the woefully undersized Brian Skinner, can block shots?

^^ I agree Slim.
I vote for the tall bloke...shame you probably need to have a head cold to pronounce his name correctly though. lol

Sampson, who is the guy he's basically competing against anyway.
Unfortuantely that's all irrelevant - Brian is all alone in that aspect amongst the guys who actually will play.

^^ We can expect Brad to get his fair share of blocks in cant we?

Not really -- he set a career high last year, and it was 1.2 a game and almost entirely ineffective. Just the occasional surprise block, but zero intimidation factor.
To put this in perspective -- our ELEVEN (11) guys who will get minutes this year, basically the entire team, blocked a grand total of 261 shots COMBINED last year. Injuries prevented a truly embarrasing comparison, but let's put it this way -- in 03-04 Theo Ratliff singlehandedly blocked 307.

Very unique entity.
Skinner's the same size as Webb. He's a PF. And certinaly would have been back when we mattered. Size matters. Always has in the NBA. Even Wallace was teamed with a 6'11" PF and 6'10" SF to make it work.

During summer league Kevin brought the ball up many times and was a very good dribbler and passer. Price did it most when he was in but Kevin was in more. To me that is an interesting 3rd PG option.
So we have two very good arguments, a 3rd PG and a 3rd big guy. But we haven't seen Luke block shots or even show he can.
In years past we seemed to always have a 3rd PG but our second PG was Bobby and he was really just an emotional jolt and a pint size PF or as Jerry Reynolds said many times, "Bobby is just the smallest power forward in the league." So if Kevin becomes a 3rd option for PG, maybe 5-8 min a game, might not be a bad way to go and he'd get more minutes. That would open up option for a big/bigger guy.
Watch out for Sandrin being a dark horse.... if he is somewhat of an animal as I hear he is quite a leaper.
