The NBA's new age is considered by many to be the era of the point guard, and Deron Williams is at the forefront of that generation. A two-time NBA All-Star, D-Will has established himself as one of the top point guards in the game over the last six seasons. After five years as the point man for the Utah Jazz, Deron transitioned smoothly into a new role as leader of the New Jersey Nets. While many point guards are classified as either pass-first, or score-first, D-Will is a hybrid of the two. He has averaged a double-double each of the last four seasons, and broke the 20-point barrier in points per game in 2010-2011. Deron was also an Olympic gold medalist with the 2008 Redeem Team, which brought the gold medal back to the United States. He is a leader on the court, where he is able to assess a situation and what it needs from he and his teammates. Off the floor, he is a leader in the community, where his Point of Hope Foundation is dedicated to improving the quality of life of children and their families.
