Williams is NOT a bust

They Choob has still yet to live up to the expectations of having a better beard then Prime Baron.
 
Okay I'll play along

Deron williams disappointed me this offseason. Last year Deron was regarded by many as the best point guard in the league. I thought he took his game to a new level. I thought with a lot of hard work in the offseason, Deron could finally take his place as not the best point guard, but one of the best in the entire league. I really believed he could be mentioned in the same breath as Kobe, Lebron, Wade etc. as the best players in the league. However, Deron did not come back in the best of shape. He needs to lose 10 pounds of fat in order to guard the quicker point guards. I think Deron has settled on being one of the best point guards in the league instead of one of the best players in the entire league.
 
OK oldtimer I'll play with you there.

Deron had how many nagging injuries last year that he played through? He skipped the world championships in order to get healthy. Now how do you work out as hard as you are talking about when he isn't healthy?

This is a joke. Whether you meant it to be or not.
 
Deron has never once scored 100 points, gotten 30 assists, or even 15 steals in a game. He's a great dancer and hilarious at cocktail parties, sure, but lets take a look at what he CANNOT do: He CANNOT fly. He went to Beijing, but he did NOT learn Chinese. He has NEVER starred in a movie. His poetry is TERRIBLE. He SUCKS at ping pong. And I won't share what happened when he lost his virginity, but I assure you he was a BAD lover that day. He's not hero. He's just a man who SOMETIMES is the best point guard on Earth (and maybe the galaxy, but that's just SPECULATION.)

Ya its tongue and cheek, but wasn't that the point of the original post. I do think Deron could lose some some weight to be in top shape.

I only bring up Larry Sanders when other posters claim nobody drafted after 9 was better than Hayward. I'm not going to change my mind until Hayward plays better. I hated the pick when it was made and I still hate it. If people will stop claiming the Jazz had no one better to chose, I'll stop bring up Sanders.
 
Sanders was 1-2 tonight (bonus), but picked up 6 fouls in under 15 minutes.

Wish we could get that kind of production...

Hes a 4 not a 5 and he plays very good defense. 7' 5" standing reach. He a rookie and in the top 10 in blocked shots during the preseason as a rookie. He is still a rookie, but he shows signs of being a good player eventually. Has Hayward?

He's a chucker. Terrible. Fouls like crazy, dumb as a rock.

Hayward played just as well as he did in summer league play, and has been just as efficient in preseason.

In short, if Hayward sucks, so does Larry Sanders.
 
Where is all this Sanders love coming from? He's had a spotty preseason. He might turn into a good player but he'll almost certainly be finding his way this year just like Hayward. Not that preseason numbers really mean anything, but Evans is killing Sanders.
