I didn't get a chance to watch much basketball last night with youth group and the World Series getting started but I did sit down to watch about 30 minutes of the Jazz-Nuggets game. In those 30 minutes I watched in the third quarter, Deron Williams (pictured to the left) truly was unstoppable. He used and abused Anthony Carter in so many ways both on the defensive end and the offensive end. He has such a great combination of speed and muscle. He used his speed to get to the lane for a driving layup and his muscle to handle any contact from a big man. He also used his body to put himself in the right position on defense and to muscle his opponents as well. He truly has the capability to do it all with the drives to the lane to take a layup or set someone up with a dime. He also has a phenomenal mid range game and can knock down 3s as well. Obviously, if the Jazz are to be successful this year, they will need to ride Williams and have him carry them into the playoffs and beyond. Chris Paul and Deron Williams will forever be linked due to them being drafted one pick apart and each are amazing athletes in there own rights, so it will be interesting in the next few years how it all works out with playoff victories and leading their respective teams.
Final Line: (9-15 FG, 2-3 3P, 8-8 FT) 28 points, 13 assists, 1 steal
