Pressey was a high school basketball All-state selection by the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches (TABC) and helped his team achieve 2009 and 2010 Southwest Preparatory Conference (SPC) state championships in basketball. In high school, several YouTube videos of him dunking (often over much taller players) became popular. He is the son of 1982 first-round NBA draft selection and 1982 Consensus All-American Paul Pressey.

In June 2006, Pressey stood at 5 feet 3 inches (1.60 m). [2] That year, he led the Boston Amateur Basketball Club (BABC), also known as the Boston Amateur Athletic Club, to the 2006 Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) National Championship. [3] He had joined the team as a seventh-grader in 2005. [4] He played his freshman year at Waltham High School in Waltham, Massachusetts [5] and his sophomore high school basketball season for Cushing Academy. [3] As the family moved for his father's jobs with various NBA franchises, Pressey spent summers with BABC teammate (and future Missouri teammate) Alex Oriakhi. [4]

In 2008, Pressey's family moved to Dallas when Paul took a job with the New Orleans Hornets, and Phil began to play with Episcopal School of Dallas for his junior season. [4] During his two years at Episcopal, the team won its second and third consecutive SPC Division I boys' state championship in 2009 and 2010. [6] He was one of the two best point guards at the July 2009 LeBron James Skills Academy, according to reports in The Plain Dealer . [7] Pressey made his verbal commitment to Missouri on September 13, 2009. [8] Pressey's father, Paul, had been teammates with Missouri head coach Mike Anderson. [9] Anderson had known Pressey since he was an infant and remained close to the family as "Uncle Mike". [10] On April 12, 2010, Pressey's older brother Matt, who was a junior college transfer, gave his verbal commitment to join his brother in Missouri's 2010 entering class. [11] On April 15, Oregon attempted to lure Anderson, [12] but after meeting with Oregon's athletic director, Anderson decided to stay at Missouri. [13]

[15] During the 2010 SPC championship game, Pressey tallied 32 points, 9 assists, 8 rebounds and 3 steals against Greenhill School. [6] Videos of him dunking in high school have made him a YouTube sensation. [6] During the 2010 TABC All-star game, he dunked over Tony Mitchell, who at the time was a player approximately a foot taller than Pressey. This video has more than 900,000 views. [16] Because of his diminutive stature, he is often compared to another undersized Dallas basketball player, Spud Webb. [17]

[47] [48] In Missouri's subsequent game on December 28, 2012, he recorded another double-double with 19 assists and 19 points against UCLA tying the Southeastern Conference single-game assist record (Kenny Higgs, 1976–77 LSU; Bill Hann, 1967–68 Tennessee).

Professional career

2013 NBA draft

On April 10, 2013, Pressey announced he would not be returning to play his senior season for the Missouri Tigers, choosing instead to enter the 2013 NBA draft. [1] Pressey stated his intentions in a statement posted on the Tigers team website. [1] According to the Associated Press, while averaging a career-best 11.9 points and 7.1 assists as a junior his play was erratic as he also committed an average 3.5 turnovers. [1] Pressey had a 37.6% field goal accuracy during his final season, which the Associated Press described as one in which he "struggled with late-game decision-making in losses to UCLA, Louisiana State, Texas A&M, Arkansas, Kentucky and Tennessee". [1] ESPN noted that he is projected to be a late-second-round draft selection at best. [64] Three senior starters, including Oriakhi, as well as Laurence Bowers and Keion Bell were graduating. [64] Pressey was one of 60 players invited to the NBA Draft Combine. [68]

Boston Celtics (2013–2015)

After going undrafted in the 2013 NBA draft, Pressey signed with the Boston Celtics to play in the 2013 Orlando Summer League. [69] [70] He was a known commodity to the Celtics. Pressey's AAU team had even practiced at the team facility in Waltham. [71] His performance in the Summer League led to Pressey signing a deal with the Celtics on July 22, 2013. [72] The contract was believed to be a three-year deal for the league minimum, which was $490,180 during his rookie season. [73] The Celtics began the season without four-time All-Star point guard Rajon Rondo who had endured an anterior cruciate ligament injury during the prior season. [71] [74] Pressey made his regular season debut in the 2013–14 Celtics season opener on October 30 at the Air Canada Centre against the Toronto Raptors. [75] He did not play in the next three games, but after the Celtics got off to an 0–4 start, head coach Brad Stevens shuffled the lineup. [76] On November 6, at home against the Utah Jazz, Pressey recorded the first three assists, first steal and first field goal of his career. [77] Then on November 9, he posted four assists and tallied in 7 points in 21 minutes of play. [78] He posted a team-high 5 assists on November 19, 2013, against the Houston Rockets. [79] He established a new career high with 8 assists on November 25 against the Charlotte Bobcats. [80] On January 15, with Rondo's return imminent, the Celtics traded guards Jordan Crawford and MarShon Brooks, clearing the way for Pressey to start that night against the Toronto Raptors. [81] Pressey posted 10 assists and no turnovers in his first start. [82] [83] On January 22, with Rondo, Avery Bradley and Jerryd Bayless all sitting out and Pressey making his second career start, Pressey scored a career-high 20 points against Washington before fouling out. [84] Upon Rondo's return, Pressey occasionally started to give Rondo rest. [85] [86] He posted a double-double on April 5 against the Detroit Pistons with 12 points and a career-high 11 assists. [87] [88] On April 11, he had another career high with 13 assists as part of a 10-point double-double against the Charlotte Bobcats. [89] [90] He matched the 13 assists the following night against the Cleveland Cavaliers. [91]

In July 2014, Pressey re-joined the Celtics for the 2014 NBA Summer League. [92] His performance earned him a roster spot for the regular season, as the team guaranteed his contract for the 2014–15 season. [93] On February 5, 2015, he was assigned to the Maine Red Claws of the NBA Development League. [94] He was recalled the next day. [95] On July 15, Pressey was waived by the Celtics. [96]

[100] On November 1, he was acquired by the Idaho Stampede of the NBA Development League as an affiliate player of the Jazz. [101] However, three days later, he signed with the Philadelphia 76ers to help the team deal with numerous injuries. Philadelphia had to use an NBA hardship exemption in order to sign him as he made their roster stand at 16, one over the allowed limited of 15. [102] He debuted with the 76ers that night against the Milwaukee Bucks, his father's long-time team. [103] On December 4, he was waived by the 76ers after appearing in 14 games. [104]
