Passage that caught my eye:
" There's an incredible culture that surrounds this place," Phillips stated. "An incredible group of people; I have yet to meet someone that wasn't an awesome person here, and I think it goes to how much this university is loved and the overall character this university values. I think that just bleeds into the surrounding area."
It has also bled to his teammates as he credited them for being ready to learn and grind during offseason workouts.
"We have guys ready to learn," Phillips said. "Guys ready to push each other every day. Being out there in that fire with them, and keeping their head focused on the goals we have ahead and just winning every day."
So far, the 6-foot-9 forward has notably noticed how hard the team has worked to get ready for the season and how the pace that "Bucky Ball" is known for is a great fit for him. He alluded to how McMillan's system is different from what he originally came from but actually helps his game.
"We get up and down a lot in practice, and everything is 90 miles per hour," Phillips said. "I do think the speed plays a lot in my advantage of athleticism and length. Being able to get used to making decisions faster, I think that has been the biggest difference from coming from a slower team to a faster team is to make decisions faster and make reads quicker. I think my God-given abilities will take over for the rest.""
