Thank you for this. This is my favorite point guard ever. Offensively he had it all in my opinion. Shooter from anywhere on the court, great vision, finished at the rim, with authority when he wanted to. My dad attended classes with Williams, Head and Brown while they were there. I loved being in Champaign Illinois because of that.

D-Will was my favorite PG while in the league. I always thought he was snubbed of 2 or 3 more all star appearances. He should’ve had at least 6 All Star Awards. I knew since he was in Utah he wouldn’t get the recognition like players in the big market his early years. I always wanted Utah to go out and get Amar’e Stoudemire. That Utah system was always great for a PG & PF to thrive together. Those 2 could’ve competed in the western conference for at least 6-8 years if things would’ve played out right. It’s no way they wouldn’t have won at least 1 championship in both of their primes. I hated that D-Will didn’t get a ring but he’ll always be regarded as one of the best PG’s to have ever laced them up in my book.

I am a UNC (bsba) and U of I (mba) alum. I have watched that UNC - U of I National Championship Game so many times and can’t help comparing both schools against each other. At that time, for the sake of your video, it was Dee Brown who was the face of the Illini. And, I think Luther Head was the top scorer. It was not necessarily obvious that Deron Williams was the best player on the team. I also felt that Ray Felton cooked the Illini backcourt in that National Championship Game. You say that D Will’s growth was stunted, but he had the best pro career out of everybody in that game: Sean May (MVP), McCants, Marvin Williams, Felton, Head, Dee Brown. I also think that Dee Brown should have declared for the draft when his stock was the highest, instead of trying to hold things down by himself in Urbana - Champaign.

D Will was my favorite point guard all throughout high school. I was convinced that he was an overall better player than Chris Paul. I never would have thought his decline would come as early as it did. The clear face of the jazz and a top 3 point guard in his early prime. Wish he had bought in to Sloans philosophy whole sale. I think Sloan knew talent wise he had a truly special talent and that D-Will was way more gifted than John Stockton. I believe with one more key roster addition could've taken the Jazz places Stock & Malone couldn't. Or at least got the jazz back to the finals had he stayed in Utah. But Injuries really did slow him down and zap him of his quick twitch movements. Though I was glad to hear he reconciled with Sloan right before his death. Regardless Williams will always be one of my all-time favorite players to watch. Side-note he was a beast to play with on NBA 2k8.
