The addition of Danuel House Jr. for the Philadelphia 76ers is now official and now is the time to begin figuring out uniform numbers and continue to prepare for the 2022-23 season. House Jr. is expected to bring a legitimate 3-and-D ability to the Sixers to a bench unit that badly needs it.
He shot 41.5% from deep in 25 games with six starts for the Utah Jazz in the 2021-22 season and he should be able to bring that scoring punch to the second group. He shot 41.6% from deep playing next to James Harden with the Houston Rockets in the 2018-19 season.
On Instagram, House Jr. posted that he will be wearing No. 25 for the Sixers in the 2022-23 season and beyond. Of course, the last Sixer to wear No. 25 was Ben Simmons before he was traded to the Brooklyn Nets.

House Jr. will be looking to make a big impact on the Sixers and help them on a title run with Harden and Joel Embiid.
