Deron Williams

Williams bottomed out in 2014-15, his final year with the Nets, looking like a mere shell of his former perennial All-Star self. Of course, that decline began a couple of years earlier, but Williams' per-game averages sunk to near-career-low levels, while his shooting efficiency waned to below 40 percent from the field. Though his 2015-16 campaign wasn't exactly a bounce-back year, Williams turned in a respectable first season with the Mavericks, averaging 14.1 points, 5.8 assists and 2.9 rebounds per game to go with 41.4 percent shooting from the floor and 34.4 percent shooting from three-point range. Injuries limited Williams to 65 games, marking the third consecutive season in which he’s missed at least 14 contests. Most notably, a sports hernia robbed Williams of eight games late in the regular season, and the ailment lingered into the playoffs, where the visibly hampered point guard suited up for only three of the Mavs' five first-round games against the Thunder. As he enters his age-32 season, Williams' best days are firmly in the rear-view mirror. However, after re-signing with the Mavs on a one-year deal, he's again set to serve as the primary point guard, which should yield similar statistics to last season, making him worthy of a mid- or late-round selection in most leagues. J.J. Barea and Devin Harris loom as other capable options off the bench, but the Mavs, a franchise always intent on making the playoffs, are mostly devoid of any high-upside floor generals who could possibly encroach on Williams' role.
