![]() So why not talk about stuff off the court that will also anger Bulls fans. Valentine’s on the court play has made Bulls fans frustrated and upset. ![]() It backfired just like his rap career did and you can believe Bulls fans all over are bringing that up. Clearly, in this game, he was trying to be the hero and it backfired. He’s averaged 17.6 minutes per game in 55 games. I wouldn’t expect to see a change in Valentine’s minutes after this. Bulls fans would have loved to see that timeout called but here we are. Officials told Donovan it wasn't granted b/c Valentine was in act of shootingĭonovan claims he tried calling a timeout but with just 5 seconds to get that timeout call in it apparently didn’t work out. Donovan was asked about Valentine’s ill-advised shot and he avoided the subject.īilly Donovan on Denzel Valentine's bad, wayward 3-point shot early in shot clock with 51 seconds left: "I was upset because I called timeout before the shot ever went up and I wasn't granted timeout." Obviously with LaVine out the Bulls needed additional guard play but even before that Valentine played in 55 of 60 games. If he didn’t then we wouldn’t see Valentine in games as much as we do and on the court towards the end of games. You can’t really argue that Donovan likes Valentine’s play. He has made quite a few boneheaded mistakes in his time with the Bulls.ĭenzel Valentine is the worst player in NBA history. Feel free to take a look through this thread and decide for yourself. While that seems to be quite the stretch he did provide a slew of examples where Valentine has messed up. ![]() Things got so heated on Twitter that one person was bold enough to say that Denzel Valentine is the worst player in NBA history. However, this certainly could be the nail in the coffin for many Bulls fans when it comes to Valentine. This is not the only time Bulls fans have been upset with Valentine’s play. They had some momentum after that missed shot and Valentine races up the court and shoots 5 seconds into the shot clock. The Bulls had clawed their way back into this game after being down 17 going into the fourth quarter. While there were other points in the game where the Bulls could have gotten back into it this was huge. You can hear the pain in the commentator’s voices after that shot went up. ![]() Yup, he chucked up an airball from three and gave the ball right back to the Heat. His foot-speed isn't going to increase overnight, but with a slightly better effort at that end, Valentine could work his way towards starter status sooner than many think.No no no no no no no no no no no no Denzel Valentine!!!!!!!! /l8yp4mroI9 The front office will also want him to show at least minimal improvement on defense, which should be possible with the Bulls' new switch-heavy system hopefully keeping him more engaged on that end. The Bulls are woefully thin at small forward, and with Chandler Hutchison clearly not NBA-ready and Jabari Parker playing out of position, Valentine-who played 94 percent of his minutes at SF last season-will be depended on to provide steady offense.He was a 38.6 percent 3-point shooter last season, and averaged 4.2 assists per 36 minutes, and impressive number for a wing player such a low usage rate. The injury is supposed to keep him out for 1-2 weeks, and Chicago certainly could use his shooting on the floor, seeing as Lauri Markkanen is out for an extended period with his right elbow injury. ![]() With the summer fully behind him, Valentine is focusing on rehabbing his left ankle, which he tweaked in a practice. Denzel Valentine on his Drew League experience I didn’t really care that much about it, but it kind of made me realize who I am and every time I step on the court, no matter where I am, whether it’s the park or I’m in this building, it’s for real. Valentine didn't back away from answering questions about Frank "Nitty" Session's 44-point explosion. In a story released on Friday afternoon, Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times talked to Valentine about his summer experience. Over the summer, Denzel Valentine played in the well-know Drew League Pro-AM circuit, getting torched in one of the more memorable performances in the league's history. ![]()
