Deron Williams/Kevin Johnson

Deron is probably not in his prime yet but who do you take; Kevin Johnson in one of those criminally underrated prime seasons or Deron right now?

Deron Williams will have a better career. Kevin Johnson in his prime early years, would probably be better statistically, but you gotta consider That Deron plays in a system were only one player barely has more than 20 points, and Deron is still able to put better numbers than Kevin Johnson's career averages.

For career, I take Deron Williams. He and Chris Paul will rewrite the definition of a Point Guard.

But today, comparing DW with KJ on his prime, I would take KJ.

Again . . . TOO EARLY . . . Deron has shown promise but like when Stephon Marbury came out and had some good seasons early, you don't know what Deron's career arc is going to look like. At this point all you can do is compare either his season v. another season or his career so far v. KJ after KJ's first 3 seasons.

I know Deron doesn't do marijuana, so I guess he should never sink that low.
