This is crazy stuff. He absolutely was in the NBA sights after the 2004 season. The Cincinnati game in particular showed people what he was capable of. He was an All-American. We had an incredible season and Williams demonstrated throughout what a heady player he was.No he most certainly did not. He hit a whole other level in the pros. He was not a borderline pro after his sophomore year. He SHOT up the draft boards when he went in and did individual workouts.
Deron Williams was awesome!! But, a very good scout, made a very good call on just how good Deron would become once he got rid of the pudge. All of that happened in the pros.
It didn't "all happen in the pros". Did you sleep through the 2005 season?
