Deron Williams playing poorly Overseas....

As N.B.A. players and owners struggled to prevent a labor dispute from disrupting the regular season, one star player did something novel: he played in a basketball game that mattered.
Deron Williams, the Nets’ point guard, was here Tuesday night with his teammates on Besiktas Milangaz, a professional team from Istanbul playing a game in the Eurocup, a second-tier intercontinental competition.
Perhaps Williams wished he had been back at the negotiating table. In a 74-63 loss to host Dexia Mons-Hainaut, he finished with 7 points, 7 assists and 6 turnovers. He shot 3 of 13 from the floor. The loss eliminated Besiktas from the tournament.
“Didn’t give my team much of a chance,” he said…
Asked if he was still adjusting to the European game, Williams said: “I mean, I’ve played in a lot of European basketball. I’ve played in the Olympics. But this is definitely different. The way the reffing has been going has been different for me, but I’ve got to adjust.”

Like Rubio fans have been saying for years, its a different game. Hell, the league williams is playing in isnt nearly as good as the ACB Rubio was in.
Hows Ty Lawson doing?

Yeah, I don't know what's wrong with him. Maybe he's playing down to his competition. Does not bode well for his return back to the Nets though...

He's out of shape obviously & it sounds like he's frustrated by the lack of superstar calls coming his way.

Wow he really does look out of shape. Sure its hard to tell from just one picture, but really surprisingly to me to see an NBA player of that caliber looking like that in the offseason (especially since he isn't just supposed to be lazing around but is signed by a team overseas).
