Avery Johnson is one of the cockiest but disciplined guards in NBA history. Remember his game-winning jump shot against the New York Knicks that gave the San Antonio Spurs their first NBA title in 1999? Surely, he knows a great guard is in the making if he sees one. Among the current crop of point guards in the league, the one he has his eyes on is Deron Williams of the Utah Jazz. The New Jersey Nets head coach admits he is a big fan of Williams and says he is very impressed with the latter’s multi-dimensional game, according to The Salt Lake Tribune.

“He's a guy I'd pay to see and that's a strong statement from me. He's big and strong and physical.
“He's a guy that's multi-dimensional. If you play him too soft, he burns you with the jumper. If you get up on him, he's got the quickness and strength to get by you. He can post you up. Like John Stockton, he's another good screen setter. He knows their offense. He's been in their system for awhile. He plays with a lot of confidence -- you know, national team. He's been in some tough playoff series against some really good teams. So he knows what he's doing.”
