Thought that was Lindsey's line.
Oh wait, he uses the term "acquisition" after he fails to sign anyone significant in free agency.
**** Washington is playing Atlanta? We are locked into the 13th seed it seems.
What do you guys think of Denzel Valentine? I think he's a 'Guard version of Draymond Green'.
Is that a fair assessment? Or is he more Derrick Williams?

reported for circumvention of filter.
I'm not sure what the board consensus is on Denzel Valentine, but all I know is the dude knows how to play basketball.
19.2 PPG, 7.5 RPG, and 7.8 APG in college this year and 44.4% from three on 7.5 attempts a game.
I don't care that he is a senior, I'm tired of hearing all of this bs about young players. We're seeing how that works out.
We need guys who know how to play basketball and I'm not sure anybody played better than Valentine this year.

lol at there being a "board consensus".. Ever.. On anything.
Didn't see this before my previous post, but I'm not sure where the hell the Randy Foye comparison came from. His senior year he was no where near the playmaker Valentine is. 7.8 APG vs. 3 APG and not to mention Valentine is a much better rebounder. He's 2-3 inches shorter than him too and Valentine shot almost 10% better from three on the same amount of attempts (7.5). Lazy comparison PG_AB.

You can't be any version of Draymond Green when you're not good at defense.
For Valentine to be an effective player, he needs the ball in his hands. Can we have that with Exum, Hayward, Hood and Burks already here? He'd probably be fine as a spot up shooter, but his defense is a pretty big weakness.
I'm not as high on Valentine as I used to be, kinda saw the light. I just don't think our team fits with him. I think he'll have a harder time getting his shots/driving lanes due to his slowness.

Since DL is a good drafter, I'd be a little shocked if we trade our pick. If we don't trade it for a vet though, I hope we trade Burks for some defensive minded veteran that actually has some balls. We desperately need a leader on this team.
