Marshall Phillips 10/07/2008 Date of Birth 10/10/1975 (dd-mm-yy) Euro Non Positions 2/3 Place of Birth Atlanta, Georgia, USA Videotape Yes Height (cm) 196 ( = 6- 5 ft ) Country of Birth United States Weight (kg) 91 ( = 200 lbs ) Nationality USA University Appalachian state 1999 NBA draft Marshall Phillips is just starting to hit his stride, evidenced by his selection in 2005 and 2008 CBA All-Star Games. He has recently gained three seasons of valuable European experience in Italy, Belgium and Germany. The live-legged Phillips runs the floor exceptionally well, changes speeds with a burst of explosiveness and can play above the rim. Phillips is a multi-facted player, who was named to the five-man CBA All-Defensive first team in 20005. Phillips was among the CBA's statistical leaders in three categories for the 2005 season; 6th in the league in scoring average (19.4 ppg), 3rd in the league in steals per game (2.2 spg), and tied for 4th in the CBA in 3 point field goal percentage (41.5% 3FG). He's an exceptional defender who can stop dribble penetration, while also working the passing lanes for steals. Phillips can shoot it well from deep off the catch, but is equally effective putting the ball on the deck (very good first step) and blowing by his defender. In a pinch, he can also play some back-up at the point. Played well in his two seasons in Europe. Didn't have strong statistical seasons, but had to endure under trying circumstances. Had an unlucky season for Leuven in Belgium due to two separate coaching changes and a nagging injury which was bothering him through the last 10 games of the season. In Italy, he played well, but had to play with a scoring point guard, who rarely passed him the ball. In Germany, he joined a team full of Americans, but played a strong role, despite sharing the stats with the other Americans. Excellent team player, no maintenance off the court and a unselfish player who will do whatever it takes to win. Has strong references in Europe.
