Duke's Jon Scheyer gets invite to Jazz camp

[InGameStrategy]

All it takes is one injury to free up time at the wings. But regardless, I'm more concerned with Price gumming up the offense to the point of near-insolvency than I am anything else at this stage. If the Jazz don't find a better decision-maker/passer/set of eyes as a PG, they'd better anoint Hayward the PG on offense. Price sucks if he's doing anything besides flying over Carlos Boozer sideways or picking fights with people he has no business picking fights with.

I, too, wish that Sloan would try more of AK or maybe CJ (or previously Brewer) at backup point guard. When other teams did it to Utah, it sometimes made for a tough matchup for Deron. It all assumes, though, that the backup PG can minimally dribble and pass.

I was all for giving Gaines a chance, but he showed little more than selfishness in the summer league, and Price--although a cool dude, too--has had plenty of years to show a PG game. After all, he has had 3 or 4 times the amount of playing time that Fesenko has had .

It'll be interesting to see if Brew gets any burn at the backup with the Bulls; he was PG in college. IMHO, Brew should've been given more of a chance than anyone, especially since he knows better than to shoot most of the time (lol).

Fanhouse is reporting that he has signed a contract and will attend the Clippers training camp with Tree.

Nonguaranteed of course. I believe we probably told him we were probably going to sign Watson so he decided to go elsewhere. Who needs a Dukee anyway!

I think his agent might have given him bad advice. We have at least four guys with non-guaranteed contracts in camp in Jeffers, Gaines, Evans and Thompson. The guy was the leading scorer and assister on the NCAA Champs. If he can't beat these guys out, he needs to sell insurance for a living.
