Title: DWill getting tons of bad ink
Post by: D Dub on December 24, 2012, 03:12:48 PM
saw this last week, http://www.nj.com/ledger-dalessandro/index.ssf/2012/12/dalessandro_deron_williams_holding_on_too_tight.html

then today Mark Spears uses his single line for Net's power ranks to call out Deron for posting the lowest shooting % on team USA.

ouch, maybe it isn't the system afterall, eh Deron?
hopefully he doesn't figure it out anytime soon...

He's certainly struggled this year. And would anyone still trade Rondo for him? I know I wouldn't.

I guess that Deron really misses Jerry Sloan right now. He excelled while playing under his system.

Three years ago I thought Williams was the best point guard in the league, and i also remember thinking Williams was a better player than Carmelo Anthony.  Now Williams looks like a middle of the pack point guard.  He has fallen hard and fast.

Whew, I'm not the only one... when I went to the article I immediately scrolled down to see the tats, then I scrolled up slowly to see if I had missed a link in the article that lead to pictures... I was disappointed when I actually took the time to read some of it and realized it had nothing to do with tats (I read it all and enjoyed it but at first I was disappointed)!  ;D

He's definitely fallen off. I certainly wouldn't write him off but he's not a scary player at this time anymore.

Haha, yeah. After tonight's game, I had the same thought when seeing this topic :] Stupid, 'cuz I'd seen and read these responses before! :D

His ink *IS* proper bad too! More like ink blotches!

Anyway, he'll receive some more heat from the press after this one I guess! :)

The Nets are 40 and 65 since trading for DWill. That winning percentage comes out to a 31 and 51 team in an 82 season. A real top-of-the-league PG like Chris Paul would never lead a 52 loss team in a season, regardless of the lack of talent on the roster.

Williams is a guy who benefited by playing in a very strict, PG-centric system in Utah under Sloan.  He was a relatively efficient shooter there and a solid assist man.  With the Nets, where he was allowed to play a more freelance style, he's been a disaster, probably because he's not that talented and has some character issues.

yeah, he's not playing like he's a top 3 PG anymore.  still a good PG, but not a top tier PG.

Every game I watch him play now he comes up gimpy, limps around, or ends up holding his wrist.

I wonder if he's physically breaking down somewhat? For a PG who's always been about using his size and power against opponents that would really kill his game.

Well that and going from Sloan as a coach to lesser leaders.

Maybe he is playing bad on purpose so he can get rid of another coach!!
