Point guard who is famous but has never received assists, Deron Williams Tynk Chris Paul

On May 7, in the long history of the NBA, many legends emerged in the position of point guards, who are famous for their excellent organizational skills and precise passing skills. However, although some point guards are very famous, they have never been able to win the honor of assisting king, and Deron Williams is one of them. This point guard, who once played for the Jazz and Nets, is known for his strong body and excellent skills. He is even dubbed "Paul Nemesis" by fans, but he has never won the title of assist king in his career, which is a bit regrettable.

Dron Williams was selected by the Utah Jazz in the third pick in the first round in the 2005 NBA Draft, starting his NBA career. His pick-and-roll cooperation with Carlos Boozer became the Jazz's signature tactics and also made him quickly emerge in the league. Delong has a wide view of passing ball and can accurately find open teammates in high-speed breakthroughs. His passes are both strength and accuracy, and can often penetrate the opponent's defense. However, although his assist data remained at a high level all year round, he never reached the assist list. This has something to do with his playing style - Deron is more inclined to choose passes or attacks based on defense after pick-and-roll rather than a purely playmaker role.

In contrast, Chris Paul is a regular guest in the title of Assistant King. Paul is known for his excellent field control and passing skills, and has won the assist and steal kings many times in his career. Interestingly, however, Deron often prevails in his direct conversation with Paul. The two met 25 times in the regular season, and Delong achieved an overwhelming record of 17 wins and 8 losses. Deron's physical advantage allowed him to take the initiative against Paul, and his back-to-back singles and tough breakthroughs made Paul difficult to resist. This "Tian Ke" phenomenon has also become a topic that fans are talking about.

Dron spent his peak in his career with the Jazz, when he was perfectly in line with the system of coach Jerry Sloan. The Jazz's pick-and-roll tactics fully utilized Deron's advantages, and he has led the team to the playoffs many times. However, with Coach Sloan leaving and Deron's own condition falling, his career began to go downhill. After transferring to the Nets, although he was able to contribute stable performance, the team's overall strength made it difficult for him to recreate his former glory.

From the perspective of technical characteristics, Delong's passes tend to be more pragmatic. He rarely assists for assists, but instead makes the most reasonable choice based on the game situation. Although this style of play ensures the team's offensive efficiency, it also makes it difficult for his assist data to reach the top level. In addition, Deron's scoring ability is equally excellent, which also distracts part of his energy. The career average of 16.3 points and 8.1 assists is enough to prove his comprehensiveness, but there is still a certain gap between the standards of assist kings.

Delong's case also reflects some characteristics of the assist king's selection. The assist king often awards point guards who are purely organized offense, while players like Delon who have a balanced attack and pass are relatively disadvantaged. Legendary point guards such as John Stockton and Steve Nash all chose passes as their first choice, so they were able to win the assists champion many times. Delong's playing style is more balanced, which also makes him slightly disadvantageous in the competition for personal honor.

Nevertheless, Deron Williams's career is still worthy of respect. He was selected twice in the All-Star, twice in the All-Squad, and helped the U.S. men's basketball team win gold medals in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics. His strength has been widely recognized, and even without the title of Assistant King, he is still one of the best point guards of his era. For fans, the showdown between Deron and Paul is full of highlights, and his performance also proves that the value of a point guard is not only reflected in the data.

Looking back at Delong's career, there may be fans who feel sorry for his failure to win the assist king, but his playing style and achievements are already exciting enough. In the position of point guard, Deron Williams left a strong mark in his unique way. Although he does not have the title of assisting king, he is still the omnipotent "little fat" in the hearts of many fans, the leader who can stand up at critical moments.
