Denzel Valentine hasn’t played since February 2 due to a hamstring injury, but prior to that, he was playing really good basketball for the Chicago Bulls. He just wasn’t getting enough run.
Some of the good Valentine brings to the team is obvious. He can shoot the three-ball and he makes weird, old-man style floaters. Those things jump off the screen. Valentine’s true brilliance, though, lies in the subtlety of his game. It’s the things that don’t show up in the box score.
Valentine is the best passer on the Bulls, and it’s not even close.
