‘Just Not Happening’ for Nets’ Deron Williams
D-Will Struggles as Nets Squander 17-Point Lead to Kidd’s Bucks
Deron Williams arrived in Downtown Brooklyn as the $98 million front man for a franchise that was going to chase championships at all costs.
Instead, he appears to be merely a shell of the player who rose to prominence as one of the top point guards in the NBA during his five-plus seasons in Utah.
Be it due to injury — and he’s had plenty of those the past three seasons — or lack of confidence — he’s admitted to that more than a time or two – Brooklyn’s one-time pied piper has looked utterly lost on the hardwood since returning from a rib injury earlier this month.
