Why is Jason Williams not all star?

Williams never led the league in any statistical category he was above-average at. He ended seasons in the Top 10 for assist percentage and assists per game several times during his career but never notched anything else that might propel him forward. He wasn’t deadly from 3-point land. He didn’t rack up steals.

Why was Jason Williams traded?

Although Williams was a force in the NBA’s highest-scoring offense, after three years he just hadn’t turned into the complete point guard the Kings organization really wanted. Petrie thought Williams’ skills were outweighed by his erratic behavior and lack of improvement.
