2016 NBA Mock Draft: Post-Lottery Edition

14. player. 24. <strong>Age:</strong> 22 (11/16/1993)<br /> <strong>Height, Weight, Wingspan:</strong> 6’5.75″, 210 pounds, 6’10.75″<br /> <strong>Slash Line:</strong> .462/.444/.853<br /> <strong>Season Averages:</strong> 33.0 MPG, 19.2 PPG, 7.8 APG, 7.5 RPG, 1.0 SPG, 3.4 3PM <p>The Chicago Bulls have a number of talented players working along the offensive perimeter. Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler are locked in as starters, Doug McDermott showed potential as a shooter, and Tony Snell still has his share of supporters.</p> <p>One simply can’t help but believe Chicago would be intrigued by the possibility of adding a player with Denzel Valentine’s versatility to Fred Hoiberg’s offense.</p> <p>Valentine has the quintessential frame for an NBA shooting guard at 6’6″ and 210 pounds with a 6’11” wingspan. He’s not the most explosive player, but Valentine is supremely skilled as a facilitator and shooter, and has the unique ability to influence a game in any number of ways.</p> <p>Well-rounded as he may be, Valentine’s prowess as a shooter is often understated.</p> <p>Valentine rivals Buddy Hield and Jamal Murray for the label of the best shooter in this draft class, and there isn’t a hint of hyperbole in that statement. During his junior and senior seasons, he made 206 3-point field goals on 43.0 percent shooting from beyond the arc.</p> <p>Even if Valentine were to be limited to a role as a shooter, his career could still be quite successful.</p>. Shooting Guard. Michigan State Spartans. Denzel Valentine
