As for him being the best "far and away" Tom Cruise-style, obviously that's JMO. But I personally think he is miles ahead of guys like Aldridge, Gay, Roy, etc., who are all good players who have all underachieved to various degrees. The second best player on the Zags was JP-freaking-Batista and Ammo almost got them to the Elite Eight. Thomas would be the obvious exception.

Fair enough. I don't personally agree, though. Perhaps its my dislike of one-dimensional players. One thing the Zags did have was a team that could let him get away with coasting on defense. I would agree that Gay and Aldridge underachieved but I don't personally think Roy did (he's a natural distributor, nor a natural scorer), Williams took his team within a hair's breath of the Final Four and did it in solid fashion all the way along. Is Morrison the best offensive threat right now? Absolutely. Is he the best player? I have my doubts. Is he far and away the best player. No, not in my mind. All he'd have to do is *try* to play defense on a consistent basis and I might agree, but I haven't seen that yet.
