A native of Dallas suburb The Colony, Deron Williams chose to join his hometown Dallas Mavericks after negotiating a $27 million buyout with the Nets. He signed a two-year, $11 million deal with Dallas that includes a player option for the second season.

"I want to prove myself wrong," Williams said Monday during the Mavericks' media day. "I started to doubt myself in the past. Mentally, it took a toll on me. I just got to get out of that rut that I was in the last couple years mentally, and I look forward to this situation.

Three-time All-Star point guard Deron Williams, who is excited about his "fresh start" with the Mavericks after being bought out of the final two seasons of his max contract with the Brooklyn Nets, acknowledged dealing with a confidence crisis over the past two seasons.

"I think I'm past that. This fresh start has definitely helped that a lot. I'm looking forward to this year. It's a better situation."
