The Dallas Mavericks brought back Deron Williams to be their starting point guard again this season. But is Williams still a top 10 point guard in the Western Conference?

Williams, an 11 year veteran, opted out of the second year on his deal this past summer to become an unrestricted free agent. Looking to stay home on a longer deal, Williams found himself returning to Dallas on just a one-year deal.

Once considered the best point guard in the game alongside of Chris Paul, Williams has naturally taken a step back over the past couple of years due to injuries and age. But after a bounce back season last year in Dallas, Williams looks to capitalize on running the same system again.

In the Western Conference, the point guard spot is arguably the most stacked position. It’s also a reminder to how stacked the West is in compared to the East in regards to star players.

With the two-time MVP in Curry to one of the best overall players in the game in Russell Westbrook, the West has the best point guards in the game.

The rankings had two guidelines: players being fully healthy and with just the 2016-17 season in mind.

So where does Deron Williams come in on the top 10 point guards in the Western Conference?
