Julian Phillips 2023 NBA Draft Profile (Combine Results, Measurements & Scouting Report for Unproven Prospect)

Tennessee's Julian Phillips enters the 2023 NBA Draft as one of the more intriguing prospects available. Although his statistics might not be the most eye-popping, the potential is there for him to make the NBA one day.

Here's everything you need to know about Julian Phillips before the 2023 NBA Draft.

Julian Phillips Scouting Report and Draft Prediction

Julian Phillips made 25 starts over 32 games in his lone season at Tennessee, averaging 8.3 points and 4.7 rebounds per game. While he didn't win any individual hardware, he play a role in helping the Volunteers reach the Sweet Sixteen during March Madness.

Although Phillips showed flashes of potential at times, he only had four 15-plus-point performances during the 2022-23 campaign. He's solid at driving toward the basket, but a 23.9% three-point percentage shows that it'd benefit him to work on his shooting. Overall, bettering his consistency is a must if he even hopes to be a rotational player one day.

While some teams might be scared off by Phillips' low totals, the Charlotte Hornets should consider him in the second round. After all, Cody Martin and Bryce McGowens are their only wing players signed beyond the 2023-24 season.

By the time that happens, Phillips will have more than enough time to improve his game. It may take a couple of seasons to polish his skill set until he's ready for a bigger role, but it'll be worth the wait if the Hornets can unlock his potential.

Prediction: Charlotte Hornets (Round 2, 34th overall)
