5 UP

Deron Williams: First off, he was unreal putting in 11 threes in against the Wizards, but I do want to say that Williams is playing good in other games this week too. He’s had three performances of 20 or more points and over 50% shooting from the field, while leading his team to three wins in the last four weeks. His 27 point, 6 rebound, and 13 assist game is almost as impressive as the 42 pointer, and that managed to be the Nets only loss this week. Williams is 50% from the field this month, and shooting 47.8% from three. This certainly looks like a step in the right direction for Deron.
