    You know what I hate about Lin's game, it's when he dribbles around for 10 seconds, can't make a play, dribbles over to anyone closest, hands him the ball and runs away. Usually it's a big, leaving him with few options with 10 or less seconds on the clock. He tends to panic when tough D is thrown at him resulting in this in the closing moments of tight games.

    Next year Clarkson will still not be a starting PG, as the second unit is perfect for him to run his show. unless of course we draft Mudiay/Russel and than its debatable.
    If we lose the pick (in a dark world) or draft a big guy, then we will sign a PG for the starting role.
    so I can't see a place for JLin as he is not a starting PG.

    Personally I think Price is perfect as the 3rd PG on the team.

    ^^ The only thing I dislike about holding on to Price as the third PG is that Byron will overuse him because he loves him so much. I'd rather not run that risk.

    But I agree with you - Lin just isn't solid enough (way too inconsistent) to keep as our lead PG and we already have Clarkson for second string duties who needs PT to develop. Lin is gone. Not a bad gamble this year and we got a first rounder out of it, too. But he's gone.

    Price is great for situational D. He gave us more than I thought he would when we signed him. But can even Scott be blind enough to play him ahead of JC next season? I'm fine if he stays or goes. Third string PGs won't make or break the team and I'd rather have one who fits into the pecking order, so I'm fine with finding one in the draft (if we go big with our first selection).
