Daily Illini reports that Utah point-guard Deron Williams may be a part of the U.S. Men’s Olympic Basketball team in London 2012.
Together with Jerry Colangelo, managing director of USA Basketball, Deron was honored at halftime of the Illinois alumni game Saturday night.
“Deron was one of my top picks at point guard because I believed in him,” Colangelo said. “He did the University proud, the country proud. And he wants to continue representing this country going forward, so I’m sure you’ll be seeing him in 2012 in London.”
As one of the top emerging point guards in the league, Deron Williams and Chris Paul could very well end up with another gold medal if they chose to come back for another stint with the already Redeemed Team.
