Brooklyn Nets coach Lionel Hollins said Saturday, one day after his team was eliminated from the playoffs, that point guard Deron Williams is no longer a franchise player.
“He’s not a franchise player anymore,” Hollins said. “He’s a good player, he’s a solid player, but I don’t think he’s a franchise player anymore. That’s just my opinion. He’s a good player. I’m proud of the way he’s bounced back and played, and there’s so much pressure on him to be a franchise player, and everybody talks about a franchise player, but we need to have a franchise team.
