Lasting impression
Deron Williams was one of the first players to jump overseas during the NBA lockout and appears to have made quite an impression.

One of the highlights of Deron Williams stint in Turkey was this 50-point performance he had about a week ago. Williams was making around $200k per month in Turkey. With the NBA lockout ending, Williams is returning to the States to prepare for the upcoming season with the New Jersey Nets.
Williams is also a free agent after the 2012 NBA season.
