Deron Williams at his best was better than Chris Paul

In 2008, Williams led the Jazz to the WCSF, averaging 22-10 on 49% for the playoffs. They lost to the Lakers who went on to make the Finals. Again, Paul has never played a playoff team that went on to make the Finals or win it all, but Williams in his first 2 years as a starter was already putting up great numbers and while playing against Finals and championship-caliber teams.

Is this really a discussion about who is better at being second place? Sometimes basketball fans like to break down the game so much they sound like idiots. Who cares if his team went further in his peak, if he didn't win he's in the same boat as CP3. Why are we minimizing the standards for greats, CP3 isn't trying to make it to the WCF and lose, he wants a championship ring. This whole article is just retarded.

Hey John, when ya gonna get back on the Hawks, mate?

[NBAGOAT]

this is where 3ball gets like half of his material. Hard to take nobodytakesjordan seriously however when he's taken down posts that look bad now because he can't own up to them(he had a moses>lebron one up before). Also having Hakeem over Kareem is kind of ridiculous but nothing beats having KJ easily over CP3.

I've said this several times and I'll say it again. NobodyTouchesJordan is a massive retard, with a less than basic understanding of the game.

[bobopenguin]

i agree with op.
we've seem multiple times how deron bullied cp3, bullied! he made cp3 his bitch.


Deron Williams 17 : Chris Paul 7

[AintNoSunshine]

One of my fav back in the day. A big PG who can shoot the lights out and has a killer crossover to get to the rim whenever he wants.

He wasn't better than Chris Paul but he did have Chris Paul number H2H.

[Kool Boy]

I believe he was better. Deron Williams was insane in his short prime.

[Xiao Yao You]

The Jazz drafted Deron because they thought he would be a better defender. He wasn't. I'd take Paul everyday.

[Darius]

Eh CP3 prior to knee injury was ridiculously good. I'd say D Will was near at his peak but not better.

[East River Livn']

It was a definite toss up for a few years. I probably would have taken DWill at that time because of his size. Who knew CP3 would be able to maintain his level of play so long and DWill would fall off so hard. At one point many had CP3 as the 3rd best PG.

1a Nash
1b DWILL
3 CP3

Back during his Illinois final four run, when he went by DeRON instead of Deron, he was great.

Deron was really good at his peak but he still wasn't as good as Chris Paul.

[icewill36]

I think it's clear now dwill Is a system player and his success was largely because of jerry sloans system.

it makes me wonder about John Stockton also
