You Tube Gold: Mark Price vs. The Bulls

When Mark Price was drafted in 1986, he shockingly - to ACC fans anyway - fell to the second round and was promptly traded.

People criticized him as slow but they misunderstood him because he always got to the spot first. Who cares if you’re slower if you get there first?

And he wasn’t all that slow. It would be tough to find now but one time when Georgia Tech played Duke, he had a stunning play:

Johnny Dawkins came in on the left side and was expecting a fairly easy score. Price though ran from the other side of the court, under the lane, past all the big guys and stripped Dawkins in mid-air.
