Al Thornton is one of the best frontcourt players this league has.

Rodney, ... is one of the best players in the league.

Dee Brown is one of the best players in our league. He's going to come in and try to carry them by himself. He did that in the Michigan State game.

I think Trent is going to be one of the best players in this league when it's all said and done.

He's an awesome guy. He's one of the best players in the league. All the things we bragged about him the last couple of years, they don't just go away because he changed his uniform. He's a good player with short hair, long hair, it doesn't matter.

Those observations are pretty much universal, based on what I've heard from other players who have seen him.
