Deron Williams, as insider Eddie Sefko writes, is expected to sign a two-year, $10 million deal on Monday. With that in mind, here are 10 things you might not know about the guard.
1. No stranger to Texas

2. Familiar faces
As a junior at the University of Illinois in 2005, the First-Team All-Big Ten guard led his team to the championship game of the NCAA Tournament.
