Deron Williams played college basketball at the University of Illinois before being drafted third overall in the 2005 NBA draft by the Utah Jazz.

Deron Williams' numbers have steadily declined over the years. He looks like a shadow of himself. It is hard to believe that at some point it was hard to pick who was the best point guard between him and Chris Paul. He is capable and frustrating at the same time considering the experience he comes with.

The three-time All-Star is creative enough as a backup point guard, who can knock down threes given his 41.5% accuracy for the Cavs last season. He is not quick enough to defend smaller guards, but his strength can make him an option to defend smaller wings.
