Denzel Valentine has had a very, very interesting NBA season so far. The third-year guard and 2016 lottery pick has been in-and-out—mostly out—of Bulls head coach Jim Boylen's rotation but despite this, is currently hitting career highs in true shooting percentage (53.5), usage rate (21.5%), and defensive rating (100.7). Valentine has his flaws but in his limited action has been one of the team's most dependable 3-point shooters.
Valentine is beloved throughout the Bulls' locker room and Zach LaVine called him "a true professional." But while his solid play, professionalism, and lighthearted nature endear him to his NBA brethren, his latest venture will DEFINITELY get a number of his teammates and buddies around the league excited.
