Perhaps because of the bashing done during the rookie year of Deron Williams and Chris Paul (with the media being critical of Utah picking Deron Williams over Chris Paul), we are destined to repeat this discussion in blogs, radio, and television year after year, but I really think we as Jazz fans need to be satisfied that the picking of Deron Williams was justified and leave it at that.
I constantly see lists of who the ten best point guards in the nation are with media, ex-players, and fans getting into the mix. Nobody seems to really care where Chauncey Billups, Jason Kidd, Tony Parker, and Gilbert Arenas are in these lists. They throw these names in for show — to validate the rankings in some way. What it really comes down to — STILL — is whether the Utah Jazz picked the best point guard in the draft when they picked Deron Williams over Chris Paul.
