Is Ronnie Price having the single worst season ever by a Jazz player?

Yes, I'd say when it comes to performance vs. expectation, Bell is having one of the most disappointing seasons ever. Same could be said about Miles. How many guys in their prime have shooting stats actually decline over 5 consecutive seasons?
Price is turrible, but he's also the 3rd-string PG.

According to Locke Price still cannot put any pressure on his injured toe. So he runs and jumps off his heal. THis would seriously impact his ability to play, but I don't buy it because if he is not able to use his toe, why did he dribble the ball off it in the 4th last night?

So what you're saying is we should wait to see what this team can do when everyone's healthy?
Re-sign everyone KOC and draft Jimmer to sell more season tickets.

This.
I don't get the Price hate. He is a third sting PG. Whatever has gone wrong with the Jazz this year has nothing to do with him. The guy plays hard every chance he gets. He is not that most talented guy but he gives everything he has. Sounds like he is giving it a go while still injured. If the more talented guys played as hard as Ronnie does we would be much better off right now.
All of these guys had positive Win Shares numbers while playing for the Jazz... except one: Amaechi.
My original query excluded him because of his lower amount of minutes played. Here he is:

-0.7! Twice!
Amaechi certainly had the worst two-season stretch of any Jazz player ever. I may have to concede that both of his two seasons were worse than Price this season.

I would rather have any PG that the Jazz have ever had playing instead of Price. That includes Hart, Crotty, Larue, Arroyo(who I hated with a passion and celebrated his trade) and McBrick. The guy can't shoot, can't defend, can't pass, and can't play.
That said I hope he plays 48 MPG for the rest of this season. Because it's over and no better way to insure a loss than playing Price as much as possible.
