    You can count Utah's Deron Williams among those players influenced by Chauncey Billups. The two competed with and against each other this summer as part of Team USA.</p>

    Williams, who had 21 points and 14 assists Sunday, said he learned a lot from Billups and New Jersey's Jason Kidd this summer.</p>

    "Him and J-Kidd, they're the vets," said Williams, 23. "I'm the newcomer, one of the youngest on the teams so I had a chance to sit back and learn and watch; I got to compete against them, I got to learn from them. They gave me a lot of pointers." -- <font color="#000000">Booth Newspapers</font></p>

    I'm sure he was just being polite because Billups stunk in the tournament.</p>
