Price was a rookie playing injured most of the season. He has tons of room to grow. At 27 Hopkins is not suddenly going to make a huge improvement.
I don't quite get why so many are focusing on Hopkins as a center when he can play most every position. He won't be all pro at all 5 spots, but he can fill in if anyone goes down which is why he's so valuable to the team.
