The NBL Blitz has given all Kings fans a first glimpse of Denzel Valentine in a Sydney uniform.
While the Hoops Capital side has tasted defeat in both of their first encounters, the former NBA talent is thoroughly enjoying his time in the purple and gold, while also believing his team has taken plenty of positives from the fixtures.

"The first two games have been good and we've learnt plenty from both games, especially looking back at film and seeing parts of our game we need to improve," the Michigan State alum said, who admits he was surprised by how physical and intense the play was in Australia.
"Throughout those two games, we've played well in spurts, 30 good minutes combined with little stretches where we go away from our good habits - which if we clean up, it'll put us in good stead.
"[Personally] I've played okay but I know I can step my game up, which will come once I find my way and adjust to the style our team wants to play."

His harbour city side will look to end their time on the Gold Coast with a win against the also 0-2 Bullets.
"We know if we put up 40 minutes of solid, Kings-style basketball against Brisbane, we're more than capable of getting the win," he said.
Friday's Blitz game will be broadcast live on Kayo Freebies from 7.30pm AEST.
