14. Chicago Bulls

Original Pick: Denzel Valentine

Redraft Pick: Yogi Ferrell

I’m not going to sit here and front like I know a ton about the Dallas Mavericks, because I really don’t. I do know that they beat my beloved Clippers earlier in the year by 30+ and that really stung (Look who’s laughing now….not me, because it’s stressful being in the 9 spot).

Anyways, what I do know is that the pride of Bloomington, Indiana is a spark plug off the bench for Dallas and averages a respectable 10 points per game as an under 6-foot guard. What I also know is that Denzel Valentine should be a lot better than he is.

A 6-foot-5 combo guard should not be shooting 40 percent from the field. He will be a floater for the rest of his career, so that is why he is out of my 2016 NBA Redraft lottery.
