Suns' Royce O'Neale: Wakes up with 21 points
Royce O'Neale logged 21 points (7-8 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 29 minutes during Thursday's 125-119 win over the Clippers.O'Neale's production shot up significantly, and it's too soon to say if the spike is an outlier or a sign of future success. The deck is stacked against him due to a packed depth chart, but if he can come close to 30 minutes on a nightly basis, he may be able to generate productive lines that will exceed previous expectations.

Suns' Royce O'Neale: Scores 12 points, grabs nine boards
Royce O'Neale chipped in 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 25 minutes during Monday's 109-105 victory over the Lakers.O'Neale is not known for being a player who will stand out due to his scoring ability, but he made a couple of key shots in the fourth quarter to ice the game for good. O'Neale is not expected to play a prominent role on offense for the Phoenix Suns, however, and as good as this line was from a fantasy perspective, he's not expected to be a major contributor on offense regularly, particularly since he will continue to come off the bench regularly.

Suns' Royce O'Neale: Sticking around in Phoenix
Royce O'Neale is expected to sign a four-year, $44 million deal to return to the Phoenix Suns when free agency officially opens July 6, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.The Suns acquired O'Neale on Feb. 8, and he averaged 8.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 0.9 steals across 25.0 minutes in 30 regular-season games for the team. The 31-year-old also shot an efficient 37.6 percent from deep in that span.
