Does Deron Williams Choke In The Clutch?

Can Hopper or someone here do a Zeke vs Deron comparison? I want to do this because for one Zeke got his 2 rings being the leading scorer as a PG and you hope that Deron can get his too someday in a similiar way. Now I understand that we are'nt quite built like those Pistons and this is a different era. But still. One thing everyone keeps talking about a lot is putting a bigger defender on Deron to slow him down,like say Artest or Sefalosha. How did Zeke handle such defenders? Is there something he did that in general that Deron does'nt do as much, which might help Deron more?
After all Deron IS bigger than Zeke.
 
Can't help w/the Zeke/DWill comparison, but I don't think those Pistons teams could win 2 championships with the rules in place now. Back then you could handcheck, bump cutters and basically mug a player going to the basket (aka the Jordan rules). If you commit half the fouls Rodman and Lambeer did now you'll be suspended thanks to the wussification of the nba.

I don't think the Jazz can win a championship w/out a dominant low-post scorer (hopefully that's Al Jefferson). Isaiah had one of the greatest defensive teams ever assembled around him in Dumars, Rick Mahorn (who perfected the 'pull-the-chair' post-defense move), Dennis Rodman (who regularly guarded Jordan), and Lambeer, and also had the fortune of catching the Bulls before they had Phil Jackson and the Lakers when they were aging and banged up (Magic pulled a hamstring in '89 which swung the entire Finals).
