We weren't knocking down shots ... We had good looks. Memo had a couple wide-open looks - uncontested - but missed them. I know I missed a shot. [Deron Williams] missed one. C.J. missed one. And they were executing their offense and making shots.

BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

Quotes about Deron Williams
We weren't knocking down shots ... We had good looks. Memo had a couple wide-open looks - uncontested - but missed them. I know I missed a shot. [Deron Williams] missed one. C.J. missed one. And they were executing their offense and making shots.
said Ronnie Brewer
He's a true point. He cares about the point and in the last few years, we talk about Chris Paul and we talk about Deron Williams – and they deserve to be talked about – but this kid's not very far behind

The West seems to be the conference deep at point guard with Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Steve Nash, Jason Kidd, Chauncey Billups...

He (Deron Williams) did a good job ... He looked for us out there. He hit open shots for us. That's what we've been doing with him...He's such a leader. He tried to execute every play. He tried to create open shots for us. It's good to see him back tonight.
said Mehmet Okur
He's an All-Star in the making. Superstar? I'm not ready to go that far ... I'd bet on him. I'd bet on him being pretty special. At 20 years old he does things now so easily with very little knowledge of the game, very little instinctive development. Jason Kidd, Deron Williams... that's kind of the mode I think I see. Initially in college I thought more Jason Kidd, but after watching him in Golden State and LA, I think more Deron Williams.

Quotes from articles mentioning Deron Williams
We're not going to make excuses ... We lost to a team that came in here and played harder than us, were a step quicker than us and wanted it more.
said Deron Williams
I'd be disappointed if I had our team together, but you've got to be realistic a little bit and fair
said Jerry Sloan
We're getting away from doing what we do ... We're making everything hectic, taking fast shots. Our sets are getting broken, so we're putting a lot of pressure on Deron to try to run a pick-and-roll almost every time down.
said C.J. Miles
So far I think he's been helping our team out more than he's been hurting our team
said Ronnie Brewer
