Analysis

Prior to the 2015-16 college basketball season, Texas A&M Aggies shooting guard Danuel House was listed by many as an early second-round selection in the NBA Draft. Unfortunately, bouts with inefficiency forced the Texas A&M star down many a draft board.

The 22-year-old is doing his damnedest to get back into the NBA Draft conversation by leading his Aggies through the NCAA Tournament.

House, a 6’7″ shooting guard, dismantled the Green Bay Phoenix for 20 points on just 12 shots. A 40.0 percent 3-point shooter in 2014-15, House is beginning to look like himself again with six 3-point field goals converted in his past two games alone.

In didn’t take very long for House to lead Texas A&M to victory in the Round of 64, but had he played a full and competitive game, who knows what his stat line would’ve been.

Beyond the numbers was the methodical nature in which House picked his opponent apart. That’s what scouts have been looking for from a player who has the physical tools and skill set to be a quality player at the next level.

If House manages to lead Texas A&M on a deep run through March Madness, he could intrigue a general manager enough to get drafted.
