Denzel Valentine

[dwoumn]

As great as Travis Trice has been playing, Denzel Valentine has played a major role for MSU in this tournament run. He's a shot maker, playmaker, rebounder and his defense has improved through his years at MSU.

Should the C's look at him in the 2nd rd, if he does declare for the draft?

This year he's shooting 41% from 3, and is compared to the Spurs' Danny Green. I think its worth looking into using one the 2nd rd picks on him. He is a type of player that we do not currently have on the roster.

Valentine's rebound and push in transition leads to a wide open 3.

His ability to penetrate a defense leads to a difficult diagonal pass to Trice for a wide open 3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvhO2r3KeRg

Ability to move w/o the basketball and be able to catch and shoot.

I really couldn't care less how he's been playing. If you get the chance to add a person to your team named Denzel Valentine, you do it every time.
