Utah reserve guard Ronnie Price has welcomed the competition he'll receive from recently-acquired point guard Brevin Knight, according to The Salt Lake Tribune.

"I've watched Brevin play his whole career and been a fan of Brevin Knight," Price said. "He doesn't have to be super explosive and just be a crazy athlete, but still in all, he can get the job done, and he just does all the right things on the court."

Price supplanted Jason Hart as the lead backup to Deron Williams last season and is excited to learn from a veteran like Knight.

"Whatever my role is, I have to be able to face it and be able to do the best I can," Price said. "It's just something that comes along with the game. As easy as it is to make it into a competition or anything like that, it's really not."
