Both players ran a lot of PnRYup, that P&R heavy flex offense that Jerry Sloan teams ran was tailor made for D-Will. He never put up assists numbers like he did in Utah and became more of a scoring guard in New Jersey/Brooklyn.

how many don't have money as a priority?How many NBA players you think goin willingly retire at 30/31?
Tyson gave them one good year, he was injury prone. 45 games in '09, 23.5 minutes per game in the playoffs.At that time David West as neck in neck with Boozer
Chandler was better than any Jazz not named Williams or Boozer.
Okur was a liability
AK47 wasn't the same player by the time Deron arrived
Defensively, yeah, Okur was a liability.Tyson gave them one good year, he was injury prone. 45 games in '09, 23.5 minutes per game in the playoffs.
Okur was a stretch big man putting up 17/8 on 49/45/82 splits yet you calling him a liability? Kirilenko was still good and a high impact defensive player. They had other guys like young Millsap and Brewer putting up solid numbers, two gunners in Kyle Korver and C.J. Miles off the bench. Again, superior coaching with a HoF'er on the sidelines.
That's really what it was. CP3 was always the better player in my mind, but when you combine the fact they came from the same draft class, were always compared, were relatively close in terms of skills, but add in that Williams seemed to usually get the better of the one-on-one matchup, it made the comparison seem closer than it should've been in my opinion.Deron used to own the CP3 match-up too
The bench is ass. Jannero Pargo was their leading scorer off the bench.Defensively, yeah, Okur was a liability.
You are right about AK47.
Millsap was a 2nd rounder. He was a steal like Boozer
You said it best, better coaching
Hornets had a squad tho for that time period

Dude was a monster for several years in Utah, unguardable at times....now is completely washed at 34, and has been several years. Seems like dude should be older than he is
