NBA Comparison: Chris Johnson

Strengths: Smooth shooting stroke … Shot 34% for his career from 3, including 40% his junior year … Strong frame and decent explosiveness makes House a capable slasher … Good leaping ability and excellent speed make him a strong finisher in transition … Good shooter off the dribble … Has the athleticism to finish above the rim in some situations … His length/strength combination will allow him to match up with NBA-size 3’s … Has put on 30-40 pounds of muscle since entering high school … Gets to the line at a decent rate, where he was a 72% shooter last season … May have a role in the NBA as a serviceable 3-and-D guy due to his potential as a shooter and defender … Form on jumpshot

Weaknesses: House isn’t a very good ballhandler and struggles to create his own shot and finish at the rim with consistency … Not a very committed defender.  He has decent quickness and strength, but his length and lack of great fundamentals limit his production … Outside shooting took a steep drop this past season, from 40% to 31% … At age 23, House’s potential for development is low…

Overall: House is a good athlete with a good shooting stroke, but his lack of ball handling and defending ability limit the role he can play … Add on his advanced age, and he won’t be likely to hear his name on draft night, though his skill set has the framework of a potential NBA 3-and-D guy off the bench …
