Both those guys (Thornton and Collison) are quite a surprise for them to be getting the numbers as rookies theyre getting, said Golden State Coach Don Nelson.
Its really amazing. I dont think anybody saw that coming. Thats incredible. Im happy for them; theyre two really good players that they found. We think we got a good one, but Collison had a better month than our kid, and he was terrific.
Which provided a treat for those in attendance Monday night.
Strong, strong, backcourt play, Hornets Coach Jeff Bower said. Its a little bit of an indication of the strength of the backcourt in this past draft when you look at all of the players that were taken in the draft from the backcourt. Youve really got a wide influx of talent and abilities playing major roles in a lot of cases.
