#24: Deron Williams (2005–2017)
From 2007 to 2010, Deron Williams went toe-to-toe with Chris Paul for “best point guard in the league.” In that stretch, he averaged over 18 points and 10 assists and led the Jazz deep into the playoffs. Williams made three All-Star teams, earned two Olympic gold medals, and was the face of Utah’s offense for years.

His handle was tight, his shot reliable, and his playmaking elite. Injuries slowed him late, but in his prime, he had total control. On any given night, Williams could outplay anyone at his position. And for a while, he often did.
