Anyone else think this.Anybody know why he didnt get drafted.

Answer to question 1: I'm sure there are, but I aint one of them.

Answer to question 2: He's Juan Dixon, but 2-3" shorter, not as good a defender, and less likely to be able to play point in the League.

He'll get a tryout somewhere......

I totally agree about Price.

[plasticman23]

he has a shooting gaurds game, but he's too small to be an nba 2 gaurd and he doesn't really have any pg skills, also he's very weak by nba standards.

[Hollis]

people always talk about negatives when referring to Price. Instead of saying how tough he is, and what a great teammate, shooter, defender, they say he's too small, blah blah blah. He'll be a decent NBA backup.

I disagree about Hollis' toughness. It seemed he was always hurt and more of something he and the media could whine about. How about a guy like Mo Baker, who had even more serious injuries than Hollis? Mo Baker was at one time as high as the 7th pick on NBADraft.net's mock draft. After being national juco player of the year his junior year and leading all point guards in the nation in rebounding (7 boards a game) and Field Goal % (61% from two and 53% overall), he suffered 2 major injuries his senior year and went undrafted. He came back and although after his injury he went from scoring 20 pts a game to 1.7 points per game in his last 8 games. Now that's a guy that is tough. His season should have ended after his first injury but he kept fighting back. Sorry about the change of subject but I felt quite the opposite of what the media did about Hollis. He had a different injury ever 2 or 3 games and always came out playing. There's a reason why he's always hurt. He could barely survive the Big 12 and there's is not way he will make it in the league.

He's just a shooter and nothing more. If you want a shooter on your team they're all over the nation but at least you get size with guys like Hayes, English, Kapono, etc.

Price was a great leader and a great college player but his game is not suited for the NBA at all.

Uh, when has Hollis Price "whined" about an injury? The only reason he's had so many injuries is because he's mastered a lost art: giving up your body for the team. You say he's not tough, yet you say Baker was tough for coming back? Hollis came back and played at a very high level in spite of the multiple surgeries. I just don't see how he's not tough because he's had injuries...isn't toughness how you come back from injuries?

[TheS100]

HAHA. I was just being a pain. Of course he's tough, but there are lots of tough players out there. I just hate how the media picks players and say wow he sprained his ankle. He's tough for going out there. Very few players are just going to say "Ow my shoulder is a little sore. I don't want to play."

As for Hollis, I just got tired of hearing it game in and game out when it seemed like he was always getting minor injuries game in and game out. Here's someone who is tough. Anyone who comes back from an Achilles' tear. Now that is tough. Or someone who comes back from torn ACL's or surgically repaired ankles. Those guys are tough. I'll give it to Hollis. He's a winner and he is a tough little guy even though he gets beat up a lot. I won't forget when he tried to come back into the game two years ago when that tendon in his arm was ripped and had some guys tooth in there. He had to get surgery on that, but I just don't buy the toughness factor that goes around with guys like him.

As for the Price-Baker analogy. Baker was the first player that came to mind. Mo was playing on a fractured ankle and was only getting about 8-10 minutes a game over the last 12 games, but he was out there playing through the pain. It doesn't matter at what level either of them played. If that's true I could criticize Hollis for his play in this past season's NCAA Tournament. Like I said he's a tough player, but I've played with guys that weren't very good but they were just as tougher and probably tougher.

Hollis was never going to get drafted. He was a GREAT COLLEGE PLAYER, nothing more.

He was a 6'1 shooting guard, with weak handles, a puny body and a good jujmpshot. Tell me what was different than AJ Guyton.
Nothing. This guy had no chance.
