The basics
Phillips plays for Sacramento High School. Prep Hoops lists him at 6-foot-8 and has him with the Oakland Soldiers. The Sacramento Bee, in a February 3, 2026 game story, also listed him at 6-foot-8. Listed as a SF at Sacramento, and he appears on the California board. Status: uncommitted.
The boards
ESPN ranks Phillips No. 15 in the class. Prep Hoops ranks him No. 2 in Northern California for 2029. Prep Hoops' Kevin Spencer called him a versatile wing who can do a little bit of everything, with a tremendous first step. Prep Hoops' Britt Wright wrote that he is long, runs, and moves at a good pace, and that he is still developing his shooting form but will shoot an open three.
Production
Prep Hoops logged a 13-point, 10-rebound double-double. The Sacramento Bee described him as Sacramento High's top player and a finisher and transition dunker.
The recruitment
ESPN lists him undeclared and showed no college activity on his recruiting profile. He is uncommitted.
The look
Prep Hoops logged a 13-point, 10-rebound double-double. Sacramento is where Phillips put it on paper. Prep Hoops' Kevin Spencer called him a versatile wing who can do a little bit of everything, with a tremendous first step. Prep Hoops' Britt Wright wrote that he is long, runs, and moves at a good pace, and that he is still developing his shooting form but will shoot an open three.
ESPN lists him undeclared and showed no college activity on his recruiting profile. He is uncommitted. That name also lives on the California board. The published 2029 card at Sacramento put Phillips on the 2029 board. I would ride No. 17 until Sacramento posts something louder.
What to watch
Wright already flagged the shooting form. The next grade is whether the open three becomes a closeout shot.
