| The NBA is quietly taking note of just how good Deron Williams has become. |
Deron Williams is the best point guard in the entire NBA. Period.
The point guard out of the University of Illinois and member of the golf medal winning Team U.S.A. in the 2010 Beijing Olympics has molded himself into the most powerful, dominating leader on any team in the league.
And at this point in the still young NBA season, Williams has the Utah Jazz at the top of the Northwest Division. You have to even consider Williams as an MVP candidate, especially if the Jazz continue their success.
Williams, is third among all point guards in points per game with 22.2, fourth in assists with 10.0 per game, and sixth in rebounds with 4.0 per game.
Williams, who averages a double-double, has 12 on the season, second most among point guards in the league.
These are all stats that certainly support the argument, but its Williams presence and leadership that he provides to the Utah Jazz that makes him the best point guard in the league.
Williams isn't the quickest or flashiest of the electrifying point guards in the league, but he is the strongest both in body and in mind.
Its his overall game that makes him so special. Take Williams off the Jazz and instead of being a first place team, they are likely among the worst in the league.
No other team relies on one player to handle the ball and make so many decisions.
The best thing about Williams is that he is still going to get better. He is only 26 years old and entering the prime of his career.
There isn't much more that Williams can do. He's already reached the ceiling.
He's the best point guard in the league.
