Here is the article from marylandprephoops.com on Demetrius Phillips:

Demetrius Phillips � �Low-Block Extended� Warrior

Demetrius is in the process of extending his game. At 6-9, and 212lb, he sees himself currently as a player who is in the process of migrating his game from, ��the low block extended� to more of a perimeter orientation. Expect him to work on his, ��strength and ball handling� to make this a reality. Coach Lewis agreed in that currently, �He is a strong post defender and rebounder, who loves to go the rim�. Cecil Kirk�s coach feels that Phillips may be an Atlantic 10 Conference difference maker.

This native of Greenville, NC ventured north about 2 and a half years ago, and enrolled in Baltimore�s Northwestern High School. Being the nephew of former Morgan State University assistant coach Ray Daniels (a man tied into the basketball community in B�more), Demetrius was immediately introduced to the Cecil Kirk program.

Before averaging an estimated 10 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 blocks a contest this season for Notre Dame Prep and Coach Bill Barton, Phillips inked with Fordham University in October. His decision to attend that institution centered around its coach, a well-known Maryland native: �It�s an up and coming program coached by Derek Whittenburg. He has championship experience with NC State, and took Wagner to the NCAA tournament�I felt I could help the program to where he wants it to be�.

I am not sure if I see this as a good thing. Will he become another bigman that wants to play on the outside? By the way, this article was linked below by ramMan. (NT) -- ace93, Wed April 13, 2005 23:32:44
- Noticed that it was linked by RamMan after I posted it. Phillips is supposed to be pretty coachable so hopefully he will respond to the staff's advice. The part I like is how he loves to attack the rim. We need more of that, especially if we're going to compete against teams like GW, Xavier and Charlotte.
