I'm going to get hated on here, but I have to say it, the homer inside will not get the best of me. As of right now, I don't think Deron is the best PG in the game. He disappears too much and has shown from time to time he can't take over games. He has every thing that the best PG needs, but sometimes I question him and his decision making and "it". A lot of times what ever "it" is, he doesn't have it or show it. He sucks at defense when he's playing a fast quick guy, and often dribbles way too much. Seriously, it looks like he turns into Fes at times of the defensive end. If he's playing a physical game though, he's great.
I also think DWill isn't a great leader. I think he can be, but as of right now, I look at him as a bitcher and someone who's pissed all the time. He's very competitive though so that's a good thing.
With all this being said, I think Deron Williams can absolutely be the best PG in the game, but as of now, I think he's overrated until he shows us other wise. Good thing we're only 4 games into the season. He has a lot of time to change my mind.

Head to head, in any series, I'll take him over the opposing team's PG any day. On average and over time, Deron will get the best of any PG you play him against.
As far as his development goes, I'm not sure. It can be said, it doesn't feel like he's getting any better. But it can also be said, with his style of play, maybe he needs to be asked to do something different. Maybe the team as a whole needs to develop so he can see where his team needs him to be better. Seems like that's what's happened in the past.. time and time again he's given the team what they needed. I feel like that's what kind of person he is.. kinda person I want him to be at least.
I believe in the guy. Perfect all around PG body, superhuman Basketball IQ, hawkeyes and a killer instinct. He is a future hall of famer waiting for his spot. But under Jerry Sloan, I think he's limited to waiting for the signal of where to improve. Jerry already admits Deron's smarter than he is, so maybe we need someone on Deron's level to show him.

CP3 - not even close. Admittedly he does struggle head-to-head against Deron. But every player has an achilles heel. Outside of Chrissy, Deron can't guard teh smaller, quicker PG's in the league. Paul has the ability to just take over games. Deron rarely does. Case in point was tonight. Paul put up 13/19 against the Heat. Deron had EIGHT TO's against the Warriors vs. 6 assists. That's 3 games where Deron has played like crap. Yes, he shot 9-18 from the field, but he also missed 3 of 7 FT's in a tight game.

Well, ya know, Glass, takin one of the worst games of Deron's career and comparin it to one of Chistina's better ones aint really all that convincin. Deron "can't guard" smaller guards, ya say, eh? What guards can Chrissy-girl guard, big or small? I think we all done seen Deron take over games when he has to, like in the playoffs. Not even close, eh? Well, yeah, that's what the league GM's and a lotta others seem to say: Deron's more better, and it aint really even close.

Right now, definitely CP3. I hate him so much but he has outplayed, outperformed anybody (but Rondo). Rondo has a long way ahead of him to be considered the best PG. Rose and Westbrook are like scorer guards who can handle the ball very well. I would prefer a distributor, high IQ PG like Chris, Deron or Rondo over them.

...well, it's definitely not Deron Williams right now. Way too many turnovers, missed shots and just looking pathetically out of sync!
