Everyone knows the Deron Williams era with the Utah Jazz did not end well. Jazz fans know that full and well, even if they have since forgiven D-Will for how it all ended. However, Williams admitted something that goes against the most common negative Jazz narrative: he was stoked to start his NBA career in Utah.
During his appearance on "Out the Mud," Williams explained why he was pretty excited to be picked by Utah with the No. 3 pick in the 2005 NBA Draft.
“That was probably the place I wanted to land. I felt like basketball-wise it was the best situation, because there’s not many times where you’re a third pick in the draft and you go to a team that has talent,” Williams said.
