Valentine has looked good in the last few SL games. Yeah grain of salt I know but he showed a lot of confidence and clearly isn't scared of big moments. Also, you can just see him figuring the game out and finding openings and passing lanes. Also, I like that he has a playing style similar to Steph in that due to his shooting, he won't have to constantly rely on getting to the line and risking his body. Which is very important considering his health concerns, and the last thing we need is another Rose scenario
But yeah seeing Rondo talking to him during timeouts and knowing Wade will be there to groom him throughout the year has me very optimistic about this dude.
i don't think any of perimeter plays can play defense, which is my concern. There's no 3-D guy on the team. Valentine has been getting eaten alive on defense in the summer league.
So looks like we are going to be playing 1 side of the ball this year.
