I've seen both play. Phillips quite a bit.
Phillips to me seems like a hungrier, more aggressive player with incredible vision.
Mangiapane is no slouch either.
Where I'm coming from is that with Johnny already in the lineup, I can't see Mangiapane making the big club anytime soon just due to team size.
With Phillips, he's a few years out and his development is not likely to stall like Mangiapane's could due to no spots.
I think Mangiapane has a ton of value, it may be worth considering moving him while there is demand on that type of player at that point in his career without running the risk of said development plateau'ing.
But why do you think Phillips should be moved before Mangiapane if it ever came to it?
