Danuel House Jr. couldn’t have debuted in the NBA under more tenuous circumstances, considering the star he was replacing in the Suns’ lineup and the questions surrounding the team’s ability to compete during a road-heavy December schedule.
And yet, filling in for 10-15 minutes each night during Devin Booker’s absence, the Suns’ newest two-way player has made the most of the uncertainty.
It’s technically the Texas A&M alum’s sophomore season, but House told me on Thursday night after a Suns home win over the Grizzlies, “this is still all new to me,” after playing just 50 seconds last season as a D-League call-up for the Washington Wizards.
