Danuel House played very well for the Rockets during NBA Summer League, averaging 16.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists, while shooting 37 percent from deep.
His final game against the Cavs -- 30 points (5-for-11 from 3), six rebounds, three assists and three steals.
In late July, he agreed to a non-guaranteed one-year contract with the Warriors. So, why did the 6-foot-7 wing choose Golden State?

"To be honest, I don’t really know," House told The Athletic's Anthony Slater. "My agent just gave me a call and said, ‘I’m working for you. I got a team that’s interested in you. I’ll call you back when everything goes through.’
"A couple days later, got a call back, he told me Golden State was interested, they liked my progress the last couple years. I said, ‘Really? Cool. I’m happy about this. Moving in the right direction.’ Then next thing you know, I’m here."
Well, all right then.
House -- the 19th-ranked high school recruit in the Class of 2012, according to ESPN -- played his first two years of college ball at Houston before finishing his career at Texas A&M.
Golden State Warriors
The 25-year old started last season with the Rockets but was waived during training camp and assigned to Rio Grande Valley in the G League.
Over a 10-game stretch with the Vipers from mid-November to early December (he scored 21 points against Santa Cruz), House racked up at least 20 points five times. His reward? A two-way deal with the Suns.
And against Golden State on April 1, House registered 16 points, six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and this memorable highlight ...
It was the best moment of his NBA career so far.
"Being an undrafted guy, to start from getting a little PT to a lot to doing that in just two years, it shows that you’ve grown a lot in those two years of playing," House told The Athletic. "It shows people you can play the game, can be a scorer, can be athletic, can defend and rebound."
With Patrick McCaw's future very much up in the air, it appears House seriously is in the mix for the Warriors' 14th roster spot.
