I know you didn't say Chris. It's just not often someone will say "I've heard a lot of rumors but nothing official that I will put my name to." about something good.
Question...
Phillips does not break his hand and the academics are not in question - where has he fit in on this team to this point?
Is that an 'anyone' question?
It's hard to answer. We've only seen him as he recovers from the broken hand. But based on that (which probably has it's own problems):
1) His shot hasn't looked very good in limited time.
2) He seems willing to be a physical guard.
So I'm guessing that he'd basically spell Jake for a couple to a few minutes per game, based on what little we've been able to see.
