Arguments For Induction
- Andy Phillip was one of the best passers we've seen in the NBN in a long time, which could very well help his case in this scenario. Phillip wasn't ever a highly touted scoring option for teams, but his assist numbers were always spectacular.

- Phillip was also a very underrated and under-appreciated defender. From personal experience, he was always fantastic defensively and up to the challenge to stop some of the era's best talents

- Last but not least, he was the prototypical "not gonna do anything wrong" point guard that a lot of us love. He always shot at a good percentage, grabbed his fair share of boards, scored and assisted very well, etc.

Arguments Against Induction
- Lacking awards and championships, Phillip's case gets dicey here. Not much there outside of his statistic output.

- While he never did anything WRONG, did he do everything right enough to put himself into the Hall? 45% shooter, 82% from the line, and 40% from three is fine, but nothing special.

- Phillip's peaks were fantastic, with some great seasons here and there, but there's also some low lows and even stints off the bench that are gonna hurt his case.

Vote carefully, and remember to throw out arguments regardless of which side you're on. This should be a discussion that eventually gets the league to the proper decision on him. Your vote can also be retracted after it's been cast if you feel like switching to the other side based on the arguments that have been made. To be inducted, a player needs 70% and to be considered in a later class they need 50%. Vote carefully.

***BONUS - Don't forget that everyone who votes gets $25 and the person that makes the best argument or contributes to the discussion the best will be awarded an extra $25***

Yeee Andy P

He's not a HoFer but he was really good for a long time. I had him multiple times and he was always a high impact player. Super fun PG that was fun to use in a very fast outside DC. I'll miss Andy

[lynchcats]

After a great rookie season where he won Rookie of the Year, he didn't notch a single award after that. With that said, he is one of the elite passers in league history, and for a point guard, he was probably one of the best rebounding point guards in league history. This may go counter to what a lot of people are going to vote, but I'm going to vote yes.

[Rog]

I voted no. Not good enough, but a very solid role player.

[Deleted]

No, but was a nice MLE

[The Slough]

Loved Andy's game, as he fits with what the type of guards I like to run, but he wasn't a HOFame player to me. He needed a solid 2 guys around him to be great and he never got that or poor gming for no rings.

[thefirstcedi]

No. Not even close.

[StayMe7o]

My vote is no. He was a great team player, no championships, and his stats don’t warrant to be in the hall of fame.

[pjclippers]

One of the more prolific passers in NBN history but no awards after his rookie season and only one season putting up over 20PPG from the PG spot makes him a definite no from me.

[JCog72]

Impressive amount of assists and triple doubles, but not a HOFer

[ucfinfan86]

Good PG but the position is stacked and he can’t measure up to the elites

[A. Silver]

Gonna have to vote no for Handy Andy, despite being a nice lead guard he was never dynamic in a way that I would expect from a HOFer.

[bigthunder]

No for me, he had some good years/stats but not enough for a HOFer.

[naterade]

He was a great role player, but not a great overall player. I think his versatility of being able to pass and fill up the stat sheet made him a valuable high performing role player but he never developed into a star. Plus no accolades of note or championships really helps the argument for not letting him in. Thats a resounding no.

[afro]

No for me as well, solid player but not good enough to be a HOF.
