Dallas Mavericks: Mid-Season Guard Grades

The Dallas Mavericks really wanted to add Deron Williams to the roster a few years ago before he decided he wanted to chase the money with the Nets. Years later, a forgotten D-Will came to the Mavs in hopes of returning home and revitalizing his career.

Even though he had a reasonable time in Dallas, most people are starting to feel that he has overstayed his welcome in town. Between injuries and questionable decision making, it has been hard to stick with D-Will so far this season.

That being said, when Williams is on the court, he generates some offense that the Mavs have been in desperate need of. Although our newest rookie seems to be taking that upon his shoulders, it is nice having a veteran guard with some experience in playmaking.

I gave Deron Williams a B- for the year so far, mainly because of the amount of games he has missed. D-Will continues to lose favor from the Dallas crowd as he has been out for the last several games and the Mavs have had to rely on a number of rookies to step up in a big way.

There is a definite chance that we could see Williams in another team’s jersey before the end of the year, but for now the Mavs will await his return in hopes of seeing elevated play and more victories with him at the helm.
