Denzel Valentine – DownToBuck

Denzel Valentine 17 Points Full Highlights (3/2/2020)

It’s easy to see why Denzel Valentine doesn’t really play all that much. Coby White came in and immediately took for himself whatever Valentine’s role would have been on the Bulls going into the season. Then there’s Zach LaVine who’s going to eat up a ton of minutes as well. Otto Porter, now that he’s…

Denzel Valentine 16 Points Full Highlights (1/27/2020)

At this point, there’s really only one logical reason for why Jim Boylen doesn’t give Denzel Valentine any minutes except in extreme circumstances: Jim Boylen went all of elementary school without receiving even a single valentine. That’s gotta be the reason. There can be no other reason. I’ve given it, like, ten minutes of thoughts…

Denzel Valentine 16 Points Full Highlights (12/14/2019)

Denzel Valentine had been dead for a very, very long time. It’s not often these days that players miss whole seasons due to injury (as compared to the old days, when medical technology was so primitive that stubbing your toe was a two-week kind of injury and any ligament damage at all was grounds for…

Denzel Valentine Career High 34 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (3/17/2018)

I’m super duper sorry that I’m late to the party with this one. This is, like, absolute primo DTB material, Denzel “Devalent” (like “divalent”, get it???? okay bad nickname i’m sorry) Valentine scoring 34 with 8 threes and turning LeBron James into NoDefense Suckballs (actually it was mostly George Hill he was abusing but who…

Denzel Valentine 20 Points Full Highlights (3/5/2018)

The final score of this game, 105-89 in favor of the Celtics, does not accurately represent how much of a complete massacre it was. I watched a decent chunk of the first half, so it was no surprise when I saw their total as they reached intermission: 2 points. 2 points for the whole team…

Denzel Valentine 18 Points Full Highlights (1/28/2018)

Here’s my thought process while watching this game: 1st Denzel Valentine floater: “does he not realize floaters are for unathletic point guards who can’t get a shot any other way?” 2nd Denzel Valentine floater: “man Snell was right there this sucks” 3rd Denzel Valentine floater: “hot damn that dude just floatered it in from twenty…

Denzel Valentine 16 Points Full Highlights (1/26/2018)

Zach “Stole Aaron Gordon’s Dunk Contest Trophy” LaVine is back in the Bulls lineup (with a sick 3-of-17 shooting display last night), but Denzel Valentine’s minutes didn’t see too much of a hit because Kris Dunn is out with something called a “cunt cushion”. While Dunn recovers from having his brain turned into cottage cheese,…

Denzel Valentine 20 Points Full Highlights (1/10/2018)

Denzel Valentine is taking pullup threes now. I don’t know if this is something he’s always done and they’re just now going in, but he’s definitely taking and making them at this point in his career. Good. That’s what he should be doing, because, don’t forget, he was one of the best players in all…

Denzel Valentine 19 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/8/2018)

Denzel Valentine is shooting almost 40% from the three-point line, but I don’t feel like there’s much buzz around him being a “good” three-point shooter. Maybe it’s because we’re living in an era where a player can conceivably shoot 45% from three on high volume, or maybe it’s because Denzel has yet to have a…

Denzel Valentine 18 Points Full Highlights (12/21/2017)

Denzel Valentine: fastest gun in the East? When this guy is tasked with taking a catch-and-shoot three with a defender somewhere in the area, he just flings it up there. It’s not Anthony Morrow-level don’t-even-dip-the-ball-just-shoot-it-from-wherever-you-caught-it, but he doesn’t take much time at all. That, combined with his lack of follow-through, mean that he has one…
