Not a superstar, but certainly a role player who will help vs certain teams. You need players like that on your roster. Solid addition.

We knew about Phillips weeks ago. Why is this news?

Idle speculation of course and still a player or two to add but why not as it is what we do here.

Ant/TO plus true freshman

Mack/Boating/Ant combo

Boating/Crews/Pierce wing

Mitchell/Pierce/Crews/porter 4

Burns/Phillips/Northw? Mitchell when they play small lineup

Because he just signed on Wednesday?

I don’t think Burns and Northweather give you much inside. Northweather is thicker, but not super physical. He is very skilled though and can really shoot the 3. Lots of interchangeable parts. Lots of height. Not much bulk underneath so Phillips could be that guy (I hope) who can guard another team’s big dude under the basket.

Admittedly, that was just idle speculation.
