Barnes: Josiah-Jordan James, Julian Phillips going through NBA Draft Process

We’ve been waiting for Tennessee basketball news for a few weeks now, and it seems we’ve gotten it all at once. The latest piece of the puzzle is that Josiah-Jordan James and Julian Phillips will be testing the NBA Draft waters, but neither have signed an agent, meaning both can still opt to return to Knoxville if they choose.

James went through the process last season and returned. This will be Phillips’ first time through. Rick Barnes announced the news during a Big Orange Caravan stop in Nashville.

“Both Josiah and Julian are going through the NBA process,” Barnes said, via 247Sports.
