Phillips gives Allderdice a versatile presence defensively. At 6-foot-4, he brings positional size, physicality, and the ability to contribute without needing to be a primary offensive option.

His ability to defend multiple positions provides flexibility within the Dragons’ defensive schemes. Whether matched against forwards or switching onto perimeter players, Phillips has the physical tools to challenge opposing offenses.

Additionally, his rebounding helps Allderdice finish defensive possessions and limit second-chance opportunities.

His willingness to contribute as a passer also allows the Dragons to move the basketball efficiently after defensive stops.

With several younger players expected to contribute this season, Phillips’ experience and defensive versatility could become increasingly valuable.

If Phillips consistently makes an impact across multiple defensive assignments, he has an opportunity to establish himself as one of the City League’s more dependable defenders.
