His growth from freshman to sophomore is really impressive. The one drawback is he is not an explosive leader but bounds he hard to stay in front of. He has added this step back three where he gets crazy separation and defenders are routinely on skates. An improved three point shot makes him even more lethal. He also has good size and is young for a sophomore.
There has been some recent Alabama guards who have disappointed but I do wonder if people are bypassing Philon due to a lack of perceived upside while in reality he could have just as much of bounce potential as some of the others.
I don't know if you consider Collin Sexton and Keon Ellis as disappointments, as far as guards are concerned. SF's Brandon Miller and Herb Jones can be borderline stars at their positions. They're all good players. Are Sexton and Ellis stars? No, but they can play a role on an NBA roster.
