Price is a athletic swingman who is long and does not match-up well with many defenses. His wingspan allows him to disrupt the passing lanes, block shots by bigger post players and get rebounds at a high rate. Price can get after it all 92 feet of the court. If he is not using his soft touch and feel for the game to score he is rebounding the basketball and diving for loose balls.
At West Stanly High School, Price helped the Colts to a mediocre 13-14 record including a 5-5 mark in conference. The Colts lost in the first round of the NCHSAA playoffs. He was named to the Rocky River All-Conference team this past season. He has the intangibles that will make college coaches take notice. He has a high motor, he is a great rebounder and does all of the little things for his team to win. He can score from all over the floor out past the three-point line. His coach had this to say about him, “explosive, great motor, can play all 5 positions on the floor, he is drawing some interests from Division Two and some lower Division One schools.
As a freshman at Albemarle High School, Price averaged 11 points and 6 rebounds while helping them to a 26-1 record and a state runner-up finish in the NCHSAA 1-a state championship. His sister Jaida Robinson plays for the Charlotte 49er basketball program.
Price is a player to keep an eye on the in outer Charlotte area and will continue to impress every time you see him, He has two more years and at the rate his is improving and the intangibles that his game already has expect some big-time colleges to get involved in his recruitment.
