If you’re looking for a speedy, score-first guard, Denzel Valentine is not the guy for you. If you want an experienced, small and reliable basketball player, though, Valentine is him.

He’s not going to be the most athletic player on the floor at any point at the next level, but Valentine will battle. At 6-foot-5, Valentine will give any team that drafts him versatility – he can play the point, two-guard and even small forward position.

If needed Valentine could be your team’s leading scorer, leading assist man or even rebounder – he averaged nearly eight assists and rebounds in college, along with a solid 20 points per game. If nothing else, Valentine is the type of do-it-all type of player that every good team needs.

Again, this is the area of the draft where you probably won’t find franchise-changers, but you could come away with a very good player.
