Jazz plan to sign Denzel Valentine

Think he has long arms doe.

He's a guy that could have some success in our system but will not help the defense. Finding a decent wing would be good for next year when either Joe rides into the sunset or if he's moved before the deadline.
He might help our D. I know advanced defensive metrics like DBPM arent perfect, but I dont watch a lick of Denzel Valentine.

He has a career 0 DBPM, which is probably better than average.

I think the reason the dude has been cheeks in the NBA is that he has way way below average finishing ability and can't draw fouls.

I think he's a guy who could have a later career resurgence. He should model his game after a guy like Joe Ingles. I think Utah is a good system for his offensive skills, and if he turns out to actually be a good defender, he might have a role for the Jazz.

His measurements are actually really good.

6'10.75 wingspan
6'6 standing reach
220 lbs

He's a big guard/mid-sized wing.
 
Have no problem with kicking the tires on these types of guys. Never know if you'll be be able to unlock something in them and get a contributor with no long-term risk.
Ennis probably better, but Valentine is a lot more interesting.
 
Denzel Valentine might be the worst NBA rapper I have ever heard who actually puts effort into it.
 
His height is 6'4", and his arms only extend 2" above his head? Is that short arms or a giant head?

From his feet to his shoulders he is only 4' tall.
 
Oh nice, looks like he already knows our crunch-time offense, should be a seamless fit.
Well obviously you don’t watch enough games. He only had one guy on him and he wasn’t moving away from the basket. He’s got a ways to go if he wants to be up to snuff with our schemes.
