I saw a chart posted on HF a while back (on draft day or soon after) that compared the two players offensive production in various situations, and Phillips numbers were better in most categories last season. Now keep in mind that although Phillips was drafted a year earlier, he's actually only about 4 months older than Yamamoto.
