Has Jason Williams improved his defense?

Question

Has Miami Heat PG Jason Williams improved his defense at all in recent years? Apparently, Shaquille O'Neal wants Williams in Phoenix. I groaned at that, because I always heard that Williams was a bad defender. It makes me think O'Neal cares more about having his buddies around him than about what his team needs (defense). Unless Williams has become a decent defender.

Answer 1

He sounds like a typical phoenix player bc he cant play defense at all

Answer 2

No he has not because if he had not the Heat would not be ready to replace him with Derrick Rose he only kept his job because they had pick number 2 and even then they thought about bringing in O.J. Mayo to take his job on the starting team, but I will give it to Jason Williams he has some moves on offense ,but his defense has not improved and bringing him into phoenix now would be a mistake for one his salary is to high and they would have to give up one of their role players who actually do play defense like a Raja Bell or Leandro Barbosa  

Answer 3

i dont think phoniex is going to trade miami anymore

Answer 4

who would want jason williams as a PG when they have steve nash?

Answer 5

If Phoenix is planning on signing Jason Williams, I sure hope it's as a backup role lol. Jason's an okay defender, but not a dominating one. He wouldn't hurt them defensively, but I doubt he'd help either.

I must admit, if Phoenix signed him as a backup to Nash, that would help them a lot. It would allow Barbosa to play shooting guard, where he would be more effective.

Answer 6

Jason's defense was much better when he was a Grizzly.  Remember, he's going on 33.  He's way past his prime.
