Danuel House Jr

Context:

"They're starting to call teams," said one assistant general manager.

In addition to Houston's most-whispered names, Victor Oladipo and P.J. Tucker, team executives polled by B/R are also curious whether the Rockets will look to move supporting players deeper in their rotation. They're specifically eyeing Houston's cadre of athletic, two-way wings like Danuel House Jr., Ben McLemore, Sterling Brown and Jae'Sean Tate.

"I keep hearing they're going to fire-sale," said a rival scout.

"Houston's gonna burn the house down," said another assistant general manager.

This kid is lights out. Runs the floor, plays decent defense, can shoot on catch-and-shoot and is getting better and better off-the-dribble. This kid is going to be quite the player.

Royce O’Neale got swept (thanks Disco). Donovan, Rudy, Conley, NAW, Ingles and Trent Forrest all lost in five games in the first round. Quin Snyder managed to push it to six games with the Hawks. Everyone else on the roster either missed the playoffs or they’re not in the NBA anymore. All except Danuel House Jr., the Horny Bubble Boy himself, as the 76ers face off against the Celtics this weekend.

Not much to take from this except that Jazz team was cursed.

What a fucking dude. This man is a baller and I hope he’s around for a long time.

Mike D’Antoni said that Danuel House, Jr. will not play today due to personal reasons. He added that it is not COVID-19 related. House had 13 points on 3 of 7 FG’s in Game 2.

EDIT:

:

House played 27 minutes off the bench in Game 2 and 20 in Game 1. Expect to see more Ben McLemore and more Austin Rivers. It didn’t sound like D’Antoni was going to use players that haven’t been playing at all.
