Summary
Julian Phillips is a 6’8 athletic and long wing who is a nightmare in transition with his good speed and athletic ability. Phillips is far from a finished prospect; however, he shows flashes of 3 and D potential with a long frame, lateral quickness, defensive instincts, and an evolving outside shot. He finishes around the rim extremely well with both hands as well, so we would like to see Julian add more muscle in order to finish through contact and stay a bit more engaged on the defensive end.
