He's an awesome guy. He's too good a kid and one of the best players in the league. All of the things that we bragged about the last couple of years, they just don't go away because he changes uniforms. We hope he doesn't do them quite as well.

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.

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

I think he's handled the situation well. When you're a Rule 5 guy, it's almost to the veteran players like you're on scholarship. Sometimes I think that gets resented a little bit. He's handling himself real well. He was quiet when he first came up, kind of paid the respect to the veterans and then kind of slowly but surely kind of started showing his personality -- he's done a good job with that.

Curt was good and got stronger as the game went on. He's the guy that we wanted out there on Opening Day and it's really nice to see him out there and healthy.

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