But Valentine went hard the final week of voluntary September workouts without issue and oozed confidence about what the upcoming season holds.

Much Val discussion. KC said he spoke to Val, who said he's 100%!

Im not excited at all even if Denzel was back 100%. He hasnt played ball in 2 yrs and athleticism is bottom 90%.
He would have to be superstar level facilitator and shooter to be on the rotation knowing his defense sucks hard.
Not a fan of keeping low ceiling injury prone players. Even talented guys like MPJ, bol are getting trashed just bc their ill.
Hutch is exactly polar opposite. His offense is non existent and thats just terrible as a wing.

Yeah, I'm not remotely excited at all. I think both Valentine and Hutchison suck. I wish we had declined Valentine's option. Ridiculous that we didn't IMO.
I just think they might suck relatively equally, and are the closest things to "true SFs" that we have after Porter.

I look at SF and C the same way this year. We have a starter who is good. We have two backups, neither of whom have proven anything. There is a chance (IDK - 50/50) that one of them demonstrates that he's a legit back-up. It's hardly certainty, but it feels better than prior years.
Valentine is an interesting situation. IDK if part of his lack of athleticism was due to his ankle - either due to playing or training limitations. That said, I am hard-pressed to remember a situation where a guy out that long, just picked up where he left off - so I'm thinking he won't be much of a contributor until January. I do think Hutch can be a useful bench guy as long as he's your 5 option offensive guy - So Coby, Sato/Dunn, Hutch, Thad, Luke could be ok.

So much for the B.S. he has spouting about that for a few years now.

I know he looked a bit slow and a little out of shape last night, but it was great to see him on the floor. I will also say that many are painting him as "Jabari out-of-shape", I think he looked better than a guy who has been limited for so long. He looked a little thick and a little slow, but much better than I feared.
Also, his shooting and passing didn't look rusty at all.
I am optimistic that he will be back to where he was pre-injury by January and could become a real contributor for 10-15 mpg. You could put him out with Coby, Hutch, Thad and Luke and he could be a great floor spacer and 2nd play maker.
