Deron's no All-Star...and we all know it!

[carolinajazz]

....at least not this year! He's shooting poorly, turning the ball over at an alarming rate, and his defense is poor. He's better off resting his wrist and getting his head together during the break than playing in the game.

This.

It's not his wrist. It's his ego.

He dogged it since he won November's POTM to show Jerry who was boss.

He won the battle at the cost of his game.

Neither should Westbrook or Rose by that standard right? They all shoot a lower % than DWill & turn the ball over more.

Deron is top 20 in both PER and win shares.

Think DWILL should be an All Star, but he should absolutely sit out the game and rest. Needs to show that the jazz are his #1 priority especially with whats happened.

...can't believe Rose is shooting worse than Deron or has more turnovers. If that's true, then I stand to be corrected.

lebron and nash also have more TOs than Deron.

I think the difference is the impact they have on their team. I think Deron's demeanor has been detrimental to our success as a team. Obviously I am not in the locker room and such but from what I can see of his interaction with the players on the floor mostly seems to be one of general displeasure and criticism, even if other plays he is cheering them on. I don't know maybe Sloan rubbed off on him. To me his leadership has been sorely lacking.

Then again maybe he is just fed up with the rest of them sucking so he is trying to win it all by himself and performing sub-par (for him) as a result.

Deron is an All-Star in my heart. Although I wish he wasn't selected to the game so then he'd be pissed off for the rest of the season.

Obviously, something isn't right with Dwill. Maybe it's his wrist, maybe it's his head, but he is obviously not playing like he did earlier in the season. I'm not sure if the wrist or the head is the easiest to cure.
