I'm not saying Brown is the next Thornton, but it's a bit crazy to already compare him to Colborne when they got nothing in common except height at this point.

One could argue its just as crazy (or even crazier) to compare him to Thornton.

Draft year
Brown - 1.25 ppg (x overall)
Colborne - 1.64 ppg*AJHL (16th overall)
Thornton - 2.07 ppg (1st overall)

Not even close to Thornton.
