He’s the highest ranked player in the Atlantic Division and the fourth highest ranked point guard behind Chris Paul, Derrick Rose and Russell Westbrook in some order.
Williams dropped one ranking spot and .29 points lower than where he was ranked last year, but after a season most would agree was below average for him and playing for a team that was near the bottom of the standings, this ranking proves that Williams still has the esteem and respect from NBA media personalities around the country.
