Phoenix Suns sign former ASU guard Eddie House
“The Phoenix Suns finally settled on another piece for their backcourt when they signed former Arizona State star Eddie House to a two-year contract.
What this really means: An unrestricted free agent who played for the Sacramento Kings last season, House, 27, has always been a bit player having started just 27 games in his career. That's part of why he's a good fit with the Suns. He's used to limited minutes, is a terrific streak shooter — career .361 from 3-point range, .400 from the field overall and .813 from the free throw line. But more importantly, they got a guy like House who can give Steve Nash a break every once in a while and even play with him.” - Story courtesy of Mike Kahn, FoxSports - http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/4865280
This move should really help the Suns backcourt and allow them to continue running their style of offense throughout the season. Eddie House is an excellent 3-point shooter who should help keep the lanes open for Amare Stoudemire & Co. I believe House can also play PG, so he should be able to spell Steve Nash occasionally, which is a big bonus. House will also be returning to his old stomping grounds, after playing at Arizona State, so that should help build his confidence right off the bat.
