He got off to an extremely slow start to the season, averaging just 15.7 points on 38.8 percent shooting in the month of December. Williams' poor play, due in large part to ankle troubles, continued through February until he received cortisone shots in both ankles on Feb. 11. After the All-Star break, he looked like the Williams of old, averaging 21.9 points and 7.7 assists in March and 24.6 points and 8.4 assists on 52.4 percent shooting in April. In the Nets' seven-game first round series against Chicago, Williams played well, but struggled shooting the ball (42.5 percent FG). Returning to full health is his top priority this offseason, as the Nets look to be on the short list of contenders in the Eastern Conference in 2013-14.","date":"Wed May 8"},"fullName":"Deron Williams","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"As we predicted last season, the move from Jerry Sloan's strict structure in Utah to a free-form, ball-hog role with the Nets resulted in increased scoring, 3s and turnovers -- and decreased field goal percentage and assists. This season, the Nets have a talented and diverse starting lineup, which should result in D-Will settling in somewhere between last season's production and what we saw in Utah. Averaging 20.0 points and 10.0 assists per game is fully within reach, and we should see an increase in field goal percentage with a likely dip in 3s. It's possible Williams could lead the league in dimes with a dip in scoring, but exactly how those stats balance out isn't as important as the fact that his overall value will remain elite.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Oct 10"},"playerRater30DAY":11.7,"playerRater15DAY":12.4,"positionRank":4}
