This dude Ronnie Price went to my high school, Clear Brook High School in Friendswood. I played with him all the time growing up, and now he's on the Sacramento Kings!!!!!!!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- August 2, 2005 KINGS SIGN FREE AGENT GUARD RONNIE PRICE SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The Sacramento Kings today signed free agent Ronnie Price to a contract, according to Kings President of Basketball Operations Geoff Petrie. Per club policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed. Price, a 6-2, 190-pound guard, averaged 7.3 ppg (.429 FG%, 3-6 3pt, 1-2 FT), 2.0 rpg, 2.0 apg, and 31.7 mpg in three games for the Kings during the 2005 Vegas Summer League (VSL). “Our coaches and staff were impressed with Ronnie’s overall ability as a young point guard in the league,” said Petrie. “He comes in with a lot of scoring ability, along with good size and defensive skills. I think he’ll be an exciting young player for us.” Price was named NCAA Division I Independents Player of the Year in 2004-05 after averaging 24.3 ppg (.427 FG%, .359 3pt%, .789 FT%), 4.2 rpg, 3.0 apg, and 1.82 spg in 28 games as a senior at Utah Valley State. He would have been ranked third nationally in scoring if Utah Valley State was not a provisional Division I member. Price led the team in scoring in every game except five while tallying 30 points or more eight times. http://www.nba.com/kings/news/Kings_Sign_Ronnie_Price-148045-58.html
this just in - OCP is outraged that the sacramento kings have signed Ronnie Price to a contract without paying the release fee of $1.2billion USD. they have announced that a fair settlement would send Michael Bibby to play for the OCP thugz for 3 years. sacramento is considering.
man, i watched ronnie play in the pre-draft games on nbatv. he looked very good, much better than he was in high school. im happy for the guy. did he grow a few inches? he never seemed that tall to me. is that contract guarenteed or does he have a good shot of being cut after the preseason?
After a couple of years in college, he was infinitely better than in high school. He did grow a little bit, I think. I think his contract is guaranteed for two years. That's 2 players on the Kings I've played with, Ronnie and Maurice Evans!
wow, 2 years? for an undrafted rookie? thats not bad. i feel like i underachieved now. dude, see if they can hook you up. ill start a thread about you.
