CJ Watson Says Deron Williams is the NBA’s Best Point Guard


CJ Watson is the newest Brooklyn Net, and he’s doing his best to fit in with Deron Williams and company. Watson claims that DWill is the L’s best point guard, this despite having recently played alongside Derrick Rose. From the NY Post: “C.J. Watson spent the past two seasons playing behind Derrick Rose in Chicago. But even after seeing the NBA’s 2011 MVP up close on a daily basis for the past two seasons, Watson said he thinks his new teammate, Deron Williams, is the league’s premier point guard. ‘I always thought Deron was the best point guard in the league,’ Watson said yesterday during his introductory press conference at the Nets’ practice facility. ‘When everyone asks me who is the toughest point guard, I always say him. Between him and D-Rose, it’s pick your poison.’”

    If you think that Westbrook’s only “good” playoff game was Game 4 in the Finals, you skipped Dallas, Los Angeles (Lakers), and San Antiono. Can someone tell me a dominant game Rose has ever had in the playoffs? Even in the 1st round? So many 11-30 nights are disguised as “good” games for him but the same people destroy Kobe for it, and Kobe’s a 2 guard.

  • http://Slamonline.com nbk

    10:49 is the troll.

  • http://Slamonline.com nbk

    Whatever dude, have fun impersonating me im not in the mood for this bak and forth. I was trying to find something to take my mind off all this but you are just annoying

  • http://www.slamononline.com Redd

    To the troll, you’re a real douche son and your life must suck if u think it’s ok to do this while a person is having a seemingly off day. I get fooling around, some people’s personalities dictate being a good but even those people know that it’s time to be serious. You on the other hand are a deliberate moron.

  • SeanMagicJuan

    Ignore the guy Redd and real nbk.(Who the hell trolls someone ALL DAY, but that’s another story.) Btw to follow up, in the MVP rose season he played in 16 playoff games and shot over 50% in 2 games. Westbrook played in 14 playoff games this year and shot over 50% in 6. D. Rose has some horrible shooting games that actually hurt the team by creating stagnant offense but people will bail him out with the “he doesn’t have any help” thing.

  • SeanMagicJuan

    Good dialogue fellas but I have to run soon. Rondo is the best PG, Westbrook is charging. C. Paul and Deron Williams will never be better than they are now (damn good but in their prime)and K. Irving is still too young. Don’t get me wrong, Derrick Rose is a GREAT basketball player. However, he is not an efficient point guard. He’s a stronger and taller Allen Iverson.

    Have a good one. If you’re trolling someone on a basketball site, you might want to take a step back and look at your life a bit. Peace.

    SeanMagicJuan….All that hate inst good idiot. You’re going to sit up here and say these dumb a** things and don’t even know the man playoff history but proclaim westbrook is better? How stupid does that sound. I was bringing up the miami series sense that’s the only series that stands out to you hater. Westbrook played very well against dallas and the lakers but he was not as good as you’re making it against the spurs nor the heat. Rose has had several great playoff performances…44 & 7ast against the hawks, 36 & 11ast(tying the all-time scoring playoff debut by a rookie with Kareem Abdul-Jabaar)etc…No he doesn’t have so many 11-30 games disguise as good games….He actually has great games unlike westbrook and his one that you mention.

  • http://www.slamonline.com Slick Ric

    Rose is more efficient than westbrook….he has one “good” playoff run and now he’s more efficient? you’re out of your mind dude, that dont excuse the other times wetsbrook has been ineffective.

  • http://www.slamononline.com Redd

    Why is it ok to use the Lebron-Cavs excuse but nope Rose it’s not ok? Rose only had one guy who was an all star while Rose was playing.

  • http://www.slamononline.com Redd

    With Rose* horrible typo.

  • Kadavour

    Deron is the best, but if Rondo could shoot as well as CP3 or Deron, this wouldn’t even be an argument.
    Westbrook shouldn’t be mentioned in same class of PG as Rondo, CP3 and Deron. That kid is a mental midget on the court compared to these guys. If he was a little smarter, he’d be a better version of Derrick Rose. They’re both so tenacious it’s almost scary.
    CP3 is super efficient and that alone can give him claim to the top spot.
    Deron has an element to his game the others don’t have – that back-to-the-basket a la Magic, Mark Jackson and Baron Davis style of play. He absolutely BULLIES opposing guards in this way.
    Rondo is just a wizard. The game happens at a different speed for him.

  • http://www.slamononline.com Redd

    Yeah Dwill looked nice getting played by Jose Calderon the other night.

  • SeanMagicJaun

    Slick Ric calls me a “hater” and an “idiot” for a basketball opinion. I won’t engage with you man. I see that you love Derrick Rose. Congratulations.
    Did you not see my statement “Don’t get me wrong, Derrick Rose is a GREAT basketball player….”?

    Btw- I’m sticking to facts,if Game 3 in the 2nd round is “Big Game Time” to you, no wonder you’re so upset.

  • http://www.slamonline.com Slick Ric

    OK so the playoffs aren’t big time? lets not act like wetsbrook led these guys to the finals and he was destroying everyone in his path. He had a nice playoff, nothing special and nothing to merit the statement of him being superior in the playoffs after only having two good playoffs series.

  • http://Slamonline.com Black Mamba

    Rose is still best PG In my opinion. Then Paul. Then Westbrook. Then Deron. Deron is a little selfish in my opinion. Then Parker then Nash

  • SeanMagicJuan

    Now you’re “hating” Slick Ric. Westbrook had a special playoff this year, he and Durant did lead OKC to the Finals. James Harden had a “nice” playoffs, Roy Hibbert had a “nice” playoff run, Westbrook’s was special. Plus, Derrick Rose has NEVER had a big time playoff series peformance over a run of games. Put the pom poms down for a second and put the analyst glasses on for a second.

  • http://www.slamonline.com Slick Ric

    I will keep the pom poms up and I always have the analyst glasses on. Like I said before he had a nice playoff run, nothing special, He was able to get to the Finals but he plays alongside this guy named Kevin Durant who teams are more concerned with than Russell…..a lot of teams let russell do his thing sometimes in hopes of him shooting everyone else out of the game. Lebrons was special, russell was good…….no more, nothing less, still doesn’t merit the proclamation you made.

  • SeanMagicJuan

    For the thousandth time, tell me a DOMINANT playoff series that D. Rose has recorded? That’s the “merit” itself.

  • http://www.slamonline.com Slick Ric

    WHAT DOMINANT PLAYOFF SERIES HAS RUSSELL WESTBROOK HAS? AND SINCE THE FIRST AND SECOND ROUND DONT COUNT….I DONT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT ONE OF THOSE SINCE THOSE ARE “SIGNIFICANT” TO YOU….AND ROSE HAS DOMINATED SERIES.

  • http://bleacherreport recee

    Rondo you assholes

  • crown da king

    kyrie is better than Rondo and Parker…

  • nukydd

    Lets not forget ever time the bulls play any of those guys rose murder them look at the stats they have bad games when when he come to town

  • nukydd

    Last year rose had dominate series when the bulls playe he d Atlanta and Indiana

  • nukydd

    And cj Watson is weak as hell with hat dumb ass pass to asik a person who can’t shoot to save his life so i really don’t care about what he thinks and d Will gets his b utt handed to him by d rose

  • Billy

    I’m a die hard bulls fan but I’ve always thought my man from Illinois was the most complete point fayed in the league. He can give you 20 and 10 and still d up the opposing teams best guard

  • Bulls fan

    Wow , so he happens to sign with a team that has a player he thinks is the best at his position?! CJ even if you did believe that , that still takes a lot of nerve to stay, knowing you are disrespecting a former team mate that was nothing but respectful and nice to you.Talk about a suck up!!!

    What Billy said.

  • KING_Louis

    He’s bitter & will never be better than d.rose on his bad days. that’s why he’s backing up Williams after costing the bulls a shot in the finals…

  • Bobitto

    Honestly it’s a toss up between D. Will and CP3. Nash, Rose, Westbrook, & Rondo each have major flaws in their games to keep them out of the conversation. D. Will and CP are both incredibly well rounded as players even thought they don’t have the accolades of the other guys(a ring, finals appearance, & MVP awards). Personally I feel like D. Will could pick apart any pg in the league today including Paul and Rondo but I’ll definitely give CP points over him because of his defensive and leadership abilities.

  • Bobitto

    And CJ isn’t being bitter or bogus, he’s saying what any teammate would. If you go from playing with one star player to another are you really going to admit you made the decision to play with a less talented player? Not if you like playing time.

  • bulls82

    I don’t even consider ne other point guard, are compare any other point guard to d rose. U can go on and on about d will, Paul, rondo, but I kno in my heart none of them guys can guard my guy. And I’m sure he can guard them. The funniest thing is when people who don’t really watch my guy, compare my guy 2 westbrook. It’s like when fools used to compare mj to cylde drextler. Besides speed probably, d rose is stronger, better shooter, and he averages more assist. Paul, last season the.clippers ant have Paul guard my dude, it was like a child agasint a man. I.compare my dude to lebron, durant. The thing I like the most about dude is he a throwback. He ant buddy, buddy. He dnt have a d wade, Blake griffin, kg, he’s made that entire bulls team to a contender. And every player on our team is.better because of his leadership, and play. So please ease up, and all u cats can shout assit turnover ratio, etc. But at the end of the day none of yall fave pgs can guard my dude, my dude has a MVP, and he’s got farther in the post season than Paul, and d will, come on man.
