Some nice plays in that 1Q by rookie Julian Phillips. -Converted a four point play -Showed good off ball awareness defensively -Had the knowledge & communication to preswitch, keeping DeRozan out of ballscreen defense. Then stayed in front of a speedy guard in Schroder. https://t.co/k7lv7eg5Fl

Julian Phillips looked unfazed by his moment and big opportunity. "He's pretty stoic in general," Alex Caruso said. And you could see how happy the rookie's teammates were for him as Bulls salvaged final game of trip. For @NBCSChicago: https://t.co/uFWRszjNT1

First person to meet Julian Phillips as he came off court from 3rd quarter? Torrey Craig, who you could see giving the rookie pointers. Phillips continues to impress in his limited playing time.

Julian Phillips set to check in. Talked to the rookie pregame and he said Donovan told him to be himself, run the floor and use his athleticism.
