Quotes on Sun Second Round Pick, Erin Phillips (Australlia)
On being in shock after being drafted:
"&I'm actually going into training camp with a few different ideas for this year. But yeah, I was very surprised."
On her style of play:
"Bascially, I love the physical sides of the game. I love to run the ball up the floor, I like a quick tempo game. I like to play tough defense and I just enjoy the game, all around."
On how much she talked to Mike Thibault in Australia:
"That's funny because I only ran into him once and that was at one of my home games in Adelaide. I just basically met him and he told me a bit about his program. (The Sun) sounded like a really good club. He seemed like a really good guy and (the Sun) seemed like a fantastic club as well."
Coach Thibault on Erin Phillps:
"Erin Phillips is a keeper. I think she's really good. She's 19, she turns 20 in the first week of the season. She's been in the pro league in Australia for a couple of years. She has competed and played against a lot of WNBA players in our league at her position. You are talking a bout a kid who in their playoffs had 40 point and 7-or-8 rebound game. She averaged almost 9 rebounds per game as a guard. She's an improving shooter and we're excited to get her in here."
