Point Guard

Brandon Jennings vs. Deron Williams

In winning 10 of their last 11 games, the Bucks haven’t had to deal with a lot of great point guards.  Of the bunch, Rajon Rondo stands out as the best, and while he may have penetration skills second to none, his non-existent jump-shot makes for a built in flaw.  Randy Foye, Ray Felton, Rafer Alston and Mo Williams aren’t an especially terrifying group.  Deron Williams on the other hand, is the real deal.  Williams can score at the rim, hit the mid-range jumper or shoot the three.  His size presents another problem for Jennings, standing two or three inches taller than him and weighing 40 pounds more.  He’ll be as difficult to deal with on both ends as Jennings has had to deal with in some time.

Advantage: Jazz (more…)
