I'm skeptical on Philon. I can't think of an NBA player who is that short, slight of build and lacking in athleticism (not elite) who is a plus defender. Flemings measurements worry me some as well, but at least he is an elite athlete. Burries is the only one I think likely to be a plus defender in the NBA, but it is probably pushing it to call him a point guard at this point.
