Phillips, a junior from Ferndale, was sixth in the nation in scoring this season, averaging 23.0 points. I've been able to see what areas I can still improve in, and we think it will enhance my status for the 2001 draft if I stay in college at this time.
Patience is a virtue.
Phillips did not play as a freshman for academic reasons and has used three years of eligibility. What this does is solidify Rashad as maybe the best guard in the country next year. Teddy Dupay lived in Flint for six years. So he wasn't impressed with Michigan State's Flintstones. Well, maybe now he'll re-think that.
