Julian Phillips Hypothetical

[Adam Sandler]

If you’re Julian Phillips, would you consider a transfer? I don’t think he can make the nba jump yet. The team is fine, but his offensive game is not being developed and it will hurt his draft stock. It actually appears to have gotten worse. He only had 12 minutes today while key, the walking brick machine, who has no future with this team, had 25. Id be pissed.

I don’t think he should btw. Just a question. More than anything I think he needs to get stronger, more disciplined, and more aggressive driving to the basket.

 

[DocVol]

Yes. He gone. Or I question his intelligence.

Please stop. Put down the phone and go to bed.

4 points in last 2 games combined.1

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Lol

 

[DC_Vol]

I want to know why he looks lost on the floor.

Those were dunks. He hoisted that 3 tonight and I was yelling at my tv.

 

[volsarelife1]

He got considerably worse as the season went on. Not sure if it was a freshman wall, injuries, or something else.

This off season is huge for him. He needs to get stronger more than anything

Lol, where’s he going to go?

He’ll still have to gain strength and work on his handles no matter where he’s at.

Yeah, 1 lob dunk and one put back dunk in 2 games.

If he is PRODUCTIVE he’ll play! He has a lot of work to do offseason. Loses ball a lot trying to make a move.

Phillips sat on the bench because he was constantly out of position on defense. There were 3-4 times FAU shot a 3 because someone was closing out on Phillips’ man and wound up leaving the shooter open for 3…. Phillips defense was atrocious tonight.

He’s going to get drafted, we had a whole thread about it earlier. It’s just not the NBA draft but Turkey or some other backwater league

I agree but don’t think this offense knows how to utilize players at times either. Look at Justin Powell for example. Averaged double figures while shooting 42% from three this year. We had no clue how to use him last year.

Julian Phillips hypothetical - he could actually play like the one and done he considers himself to be. That’d be a good hypothetical!

Transferring won’t fix his problems just like it didn’t for BHH. Own his problems and put in Chris Lofton level of work to improve his deficiencies should be his plan

One and done’s should get you OVER the hump. If they are only getting you TO the hump, it’s time to reevaluate your strategy.

 

[LucidZ]

I just think he probably needs some more time to develop. A couple of years ago, perhaps 3, it was Olivier who I thought was useless. He looked just as lost out there and I would get annoyed watching him never being ready for the ball. Someone would make a good pass to him inside and the ball might as well have hit him in the forehead. Who's to say really that he doesn't just need more time? A number of players under Barnes have developed over time. Maybe he doesn't pan out here though...who knows?

 

[madbamahater]

I'm not sure he'll ever start at UT, so where else would he go other than transfer to a smaller school?

 

[Vols till I fall]

He's way too underweight.

The nba takes players based on potential and athleticism so it's possible he can go undrafted and make a team

He couldn't do anything this year though. He can't shoot, can't finish, etc

Only thing I remember him doing was winning us the game in November against USC and his put back dunk against Duke

He has a lot of work to do this off season

To be fair, there was ALOT of equal opportunity hoisting last night by everyone.

Yea but he has proven he shouldn’t be shooting anything further than 2 feet from the basket.

Yes!! Actually I think he will do it. Don't think he can play the "Barnes" game...

You don’t understand how things work.
