Today's Orange County Register has a feature on Arron Afflalo and his defense. A quote from Afflalo, addressing the possibilty of being assigned to Texas Tech's star guard Ronald Ross:

"To contain him, I have no doubt it would help the team. It's just like scoring for me. To stop a 20-point scorer, hold him to single digits. Do that, and you've done your job." (emphasis mine)

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that approximately zero other freshman shooting guards in the country (let alone former McDonalds All Americans) share Afflalo's attitude toward scoring and defense. i know it's just a quote in the paper, but it's refreshing nevertheless.
