Over recent years, playing well or playing poorly in Las Vegas, Salt Lake City or Orlando has not necessarily translated into any quantifiable measure of future NBA success. Summer league stats can be useful, although the eye test is probably a better approach. Sometimes neither work.
This is a good sign for fans that have grown concerned about the Bulls’ latest first-round pick Denzel Valentine’s struggles so far in Las Vegas.
Valentine’s numbers have been pretty bad through the SummerBulls’ first three games. He has shot poorly, especially from three-point range, including some horrific air balls.
