Could Denzel Valentine be an answer to the Milwaukee Bucks point guard issues in the 2016 NBA Draft?

Who is Denzel Valentine?

Four years ago, an unheralded Michigan State Spartan dropped all the way to the second round of the NBA Draft because despite being clearly talented, he did not fit into any typical traditional positions.

Draymond Green didn’t have any trouble dominating the NBA once he got a shot, even if his skills don’t fit into one position or another. Now he’s gone from being a second-round pick to being the second-best player on a team pushing to have the best regular season in league history.

Now another Spartan looks to fall outside of the lottery in the NBA Draft, even though he’s shown that he’s an incredible, versatile player. Denzel Valentine reminds me of the inverse Draymond–he’s too big for his position, not too small.

Many draft experts are pegging Valentine as a small forward or shooting guard, but he wouldn’t be the first over-sized point guard to come out of Michigan State.

Magic Johnson was three inches taller and some 30 pounds heavier than Valentine is now, but he didn’t have much trouble dominating the NBA as one of the best floor generals in league history.

So can Valentine follow in the footsteps of those two legendary Spartans and dominate the NBA, despite not fitting into a traditional position? What could prevent him from greatness?

Also, what’s the general consensus on Valentine, and most importantly of all would he be a good fit in Milwaukee? Time to go to work and find answers to these questions.
