As soon as the NBA Draft ends, there’s a feeding frenzy as teams rush to sign players to deals for Summer League and beyond. One of the first players Washington was able to sign to a deal was Danuel House, the 87th ranked player in the 2016 draft class according to Draft Express. He signed with the Wizards even though it was clear he wouldn’t start because Kelly Oubre was already slotted as the team’s starting forward for Summer League action.
Despite coming off the bench, he had the most surprising, head-turning performance of any Wizard in Las Vegas this summer.
