Danuel House

2017-18 Stats:

6.6 PPG, 3.3 RPG, 1.1 APG, 23 GP

Outlook: Probably not.

Danuel House was one of the Suns’ 2-way players this year spending time in both the G-League as well as the big club. He received increased playing time at the end of the season as more players were lost to injury giving fans a taste of his hyper-athletic talents. House showed off his explosive athleticism with dunks like this one throughout the last part of the season.

However, he doesn’t bring much else to the team besides that athleticism right now. He’s similar to Derrick Jones, Jr. in that the man can jump, and he has the foundation for other useful skills. But he’s so raw, and there’s so much depth and talent in front of him, that the odds of him making the Suns’ roster next year just isn’t very high at this point.
