I think Pruitt could do that in the backup role. Obviously, we haven't seen enough of him to form a solid opinion, but all I'm wondering is if he'll get a chance to show what he can do. He doesn't even seem to be able to get much playing time in garbage time.

Because he wasn't ready to play the point in the NBA. He needed development time i Utah.

This year, I understand why Pruitt didn't get a lot of playing time, since we actually had something to play for, and it wasn't the time for developing players. However, there were a lot of times when the game was well out of reach, but Doc kept the starters in. Pruitt could've played then.

You might disagree, but the coaching staff and front office didn't. He didn't play well at the beginning of last year so they worked him in practise until he was ready.
