Deron Williams is an All-Star Reserve and he Deserves It.



Deron Williams is officially an All-Star Reserve for the third straight year (2010, 2011, 2012). Of course this is going to be his first time as an All-Star in the East. The Last New Jersey Nets Player that made it to the All-Star games was Devin Harris in 2009. Sadly, Deron will also be the Last New Jersey Nets player to be an All-Star because the Nets will be relocating to Brooklyn next season. Unfortunately not all the Fans like the fact that Deron Williams made it to the ASG instead of e.g. Rondo or Jennings.


Well yes the NjNets doesn't have a decent record but Deron is the ONLY NBA Player to average at least 20pts per game and at least 8ast per game this season. And he's playing on a team that is bad enough to be a D-League team. He's also missing Brook Lopez who was the Nets' first scoring option last season. Imagine how many assist Deron will make if he doesn't need to pass the ball to the likes of Johan Petro, Shelden Williams, ETC. If the ASG were based on NBA records it's like saying Joakim Noah deserves to be an All-Star more than Dwight Howard. But it isn't. It's just really a popularity contest but these so-called NBA experts doesn't have (maybe they do?) right to say that Dwill doesn't deserve it because he plays for the sorry ass Nets. I think we can all agree that the closest competition that he had was Jennings. Even though Jennings is one of the reasons why the Bucks are still in position for a playoff spot Deron obviously has a better stats than Jennings do but again remember Dwill is missing two of the best players of the Nets namely MarShon Brooks and Brook Lopez which are two of the Nets' best scorers. With them in the lineup it's going to be lights out for Deron in terms of assist and believe it or not we don't even have to talk about this if those two were healthy.

At the end of the day it doesn't really matter it's just a freaking All-Star game. If they can repeat their performance next season who knows they might actually make it to the ASG. It's not the end of the world Deron actually deserves his selection to the ASG. STATS don't LIE.
