It could have been yet another moment for Denzel Valentine to make sure former Bulls coach Jim Boylen and his staff were reminded of just how poor of a job they did of assessing what they truly had in the guard out of Michigan State.
After all, as deep as Valentine was buried on Boylen’s bench much of last season, the former lottery pick far too often was left wondering what kind of future he even had with his own organization.
That continued being answered in Saturday’s one-sided blowout victory over Orlando, in which Valentine not only got the starting nod, but had his first 20-point game since Mar.
