No. And I never said he was the best player. I said going into the season, he had a case. Which he did. Did it pan out for him? Nope. Was being at Ohio State a problem? Absolutely. Even then, he's still averaging 17.8ppg, 3.3rpg, 4.5apg, 1.1spg and shooting 50.7% from the field, 43.2% from 3 and 84.1% from the FT line. He might still be Top 5-6 for POY. Statistically, he's having a great season(you can't deny that). Ohio State just isn't very good and may miss the NCAA tourney.
Nah, you were all up on his nuts, which is cool if that’s your thing. He’s having a good season and is a good player (certainly better than anyone at IU), but not great.
 
Is personally would go

1. Smith
2. TKR
3. Tonje

But I'd put Thornton at least #3 if Ohio State were worth anything as a team.
I'd put him at 4 or 5 if OSU were a top-five team but if they were in the hunt for a championship at the end of the season I agree that he could be top three.
