Price drops!

My$hkin drops Price for mo evans

We discussed Jazz PG Ronnie Price here, when My$hkin picked him up. He was playing fairly well, but the retun of Deron Wiliams has limited Price's PT (though he's still getting 20 MPG) and stats significantly.

Maurice Evans has been high on the Yahoo! availability lists for most of the season. The thought was that he'd take on the 6th man role in ATL vacated by Josh Childress. He'd been languishing on the Laker bench for a couple years, then was traded to ORL (for T-Ariz) and played well for them. He's a solid 3PT shooter, and this year, he has been notably inconsistent, even with a minutes increase due to Josh Smith's absence. In his last two games, he's been quite productive (17/5 and 19/9).

Judgment: We like Mo, but are inclined to think J-Smoove's return will relegate him to the status of 'pretty useless'. Ironically, that's just what's happened to Price in recent days. Let's see how Evans's minutes and performance are affected...and if we're writing about him being dropped next week. Either way, he's a better player than Price, and his 3s will be useful.
