Utah Jazz: 5 Best Jazz Players since 2000

#2 Deron Williams

Deron Williams had a memorable career with the Utah Jazz

Deron Williams may not be playing in the NBA right now, but he was flashy, and entertained the fans when he was in the league. Drafted by the Utah Jazz with the third overall pick in the 2005 NBA draft, he was one of the best point guards in his prime, and led the Jazz to four straight playoffs appearances, including the 2007 playoffs when the Jazz reached the Western Conference Finals.

He had some great duels with Chris Paul and even outplayed him on most occasions. In his six seasons with the franchise, he averaged 17.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 9.1 assists per game.

Williams was traded by the organisation to the Brooklyn Nets in 2011 and it brought his great run with the franchise to an end. He then went on to play for several teams later in his career but could not replicate the same amount of success.
