During his time in Chicago for the NBA Draft Combine last month, Denzel Valentine made a very smart career choice. The Michigan State alum discussed the "versatility" of his game and made reference to his close friend Draymond Green, the Spartan alum who has turned himself into one of the most valuable players in the NBA since being selected in the second round of the 2012 draft.
"I thank him every day," Valentine said at the time, in reference to the path Green has paved for players like him coming into the league.
The Bulls could have taken Green in that 2012 draft but opted for Marquis Teague instead.
