Crafty Guard with Clutch Gene and Defensive Versatility
The 5'11" Cincinnati point guard is a proven floor general who thrives in high-pressure moments—evidenced by his game-winning three-pointer as an Indiana freshman. Phinisee brings elite perimeter defense (averaging 3+ steals), solid playmaking (2.7 assists per game), and the ability to spark offense off the bench. While his scoring efficiency needs work (34.6% FG), his basketball IQ, toughness, and knack for making winning plays make him a valuable complementary piece for teams seeking a defensive-minded guard who can deliver when it matters most.
