Denzel Valentine 2016-17 season averages: 5.1 PTS, 2.6 REB, 1.1 AST
The Bulls picked Michigan State guard Denzel Valentine with the 14th overall pick in last summer’s draft, and though he played limited minutes, the rookie showed flashes of the player he could someday be and the skills that made him the college National Player of the Year last season. Though he didn’t have a chance to play big minutes as a rookie and had some struggles with ankle injury issues, Valentine is a promising young player who the Bulls expect to play a role in their future.
