Former LSU forward Shawn Phillips to join Adam Miller at Arizona State
Shawn Phillips and Adam Miller are set to be teammates once again in 2023-24, albeit in the desert instead of the bayou.
Phillips, a 2022 signee who entered the transfer portal following his true freshman season, announced his commitment to Arizona State on Tuesday. Miller also committed to the Sun Devils earlier this offseason.
It was a bit of a surprising decision when Phillips entered the portal. Though the 7-foot Dayton, Ohio, native made no starts this season, he appeared in 20 games and seemed to be coming on toward the end.
He averaged just 1.4 points and 2.1 rebounds, but he recorded a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds in LSU’s SEC tournament win over Georgia.

Phillips was one of seven players who opted to enter the transfer portal following a frustrating first season under Matt McMahon in which the team finished with a losing record overall and went just 2-16 in SEC play.
