Suns' Royce O'Neale is at the best place in his life both on and off the NBA court
Royce O'Neale and Paige Hurd made their relationship public just a few days ago. The happy couple picture of the Suns's star and the American actress proves that O'Neale was very happy with her in his life.
Moreover, it is not a coincidence that the small forward is having the best season of his NBA career. Playing his eighth NBA season, O'Neale has made a significant impact on his team, coming off the bench on most of the occasions.
Royce O'Neale joined Phoenix last season when he was traded from the Brooklyn Nets. He played 30 games for the Suns last season and showed early signs that he could prove big for the bench.
After the first quarter of the season, O'Neale has proved his worth by having a career season. In 31 games this season, the former Baylor player is averaging 10.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 steals per game in just over 26 minutes.
He also shoots 44.7 percent from the field and is one of the most efficient 3-point shooters in the league, with 44.1 percent.
However, his team has struggled since he started the season on a very positive note. After starting the season with an impressive 9-2 record, they have a 6-15 record in their last 21 games. The Suns are currently ranked 11th in the Western Conference.
