Impact Phinisee has now made back-to-back starts with Armaan Franklin out indefinitely due to ankle troubles. The price here likely won't stay low for much longer, but he's a strong fill-in option as long as he's seeing 30-plus minutes and attempting double-digit shots. He was actually the team leader Sunday in scoring and three-pointers made, and with plenty of experience in the starting five, the junior guard has a very bright short-term outlook.
