Role
Phillips is a deep-bench forward for Houston, a young wing still establishing himself. He has the length to defend and the athleticism to finish. Minutes are scarce in this rotation, so he has to earn every one.
How he got here
Boston drafted Phillips 35th overall in 2023 out of Tennessee. He is now a Rocket competing for wing minutes.
