And last year after going to the WCF's and really elevating his game, there were many who said Deron Williams was the better of the two.
Honestly, I don't think Utah made a bad choice in picking Williams. IMO, this one isn't going to be settled until their careers are over, and even then it will be a debate. I believe Williams will be durable enough to play around 3 more years than Paul, and I honestly feel like Utah's title chances are better for the long haul than New Orleans.
It is hard to argue against Paul right now, as New Orleans has the best record in the West. I would definitely say he is "in the lead" if you will between the two, but as Lebowski said, this is hardly a draft day blunder.
