House, like so many other players brought in for short periods of time this season, is another G-League player who has had his moments on the roster, but zero chance of becoming a long-term player.

Appearing in only 36 games thus far, his play has been adequate at best, nothing spectacular, but certainly not enough for the Suns to run from him and leave him in their G-League dust.

For the final 23 games, I expect to see less and less of House as the franchise guarantees as many minutes as possible to players who will either be a part of their future, or who the franchise is desperate to showcase for trade this summer.

Grade: C-
