Philip "Phil" Scrubb (born November 27, 1992) is a Canadian professional basketball player of British descent. He is 6'3" (1.91 m) tall. A point guard-shooting guard, he won five CIS championships with the Carleton University Ravens, before embarking on a professional career. Scrubb is one of the best players ever to wear a Carleton uniform.[1]

High school career

Scrubb played high school basketball at Vancouver College, under the legendary basketball coach Bill Disbrow.

College career

Scrubb's career is perhaps the most accomplished in the history of Canadian Interuniversity Sport basketball.[2] In 2010, Scrubb joined a powerhouse Carleton Ravens team at Carleton University that had won the Canadian men’s university basketball championship in six of the previous eight years. He averaged 13.1 points per game, and helped the Ravens to a perfect 22-0 record, and their seventh national championship. Scrubb was named an OUA East Second Team All-Star, and earned the Dr. Peter Mullins Trophy as CIS Rookie of the Year.[3]

In his second season at Carleton, Scrubb led the Ravens to another 22-0 season, and earned the Mike Moser Memorial Trophy as the Outstanding Player in the CIS. He also was awarded the Jack Donohue Trophy as MVP of the CIS Championship Tournament, as the Ravens took the national title again.

Scrubb won his second Moser Trophy the following year, and took the award again after the 2013–14 season. He is the only three-time recipient of the award in CIS history. In his final season at Carleton, Scrubb led the Ravens to their fifth consecutive national title,[4] and earned his second Donohue Trophy as playoff MVP. He also was selected First Team All-Canadian for the fourth consecutive year.[5] During his five years at Carleton, the Ravens had a won-lost record of 102-3. He and his brother Thomas dominated CIS basketball during their time with the Ravens.[6]

Professional career

After finishing the season at Carleton, Scrubb signed with Entersport, a leading professional basketball agency. In July 2015, Scrubb played with the NBA Summer League teams of the Memphis Grizzlies and the Toronto Raptors.[7] In August 2015, Scrubb began his professional career with the Greek League club AEK Athens, after signing a two-year contract with them.[8] In the winter of 2016, he moved to Germany, after he was loaned by AEK to the German Bundesliga club, the Skyliners Frankfurt.[9] On May 1, 2016, he captured the FIBA Europe Cup title with the Skyliners,[10] tallying six points, three rebounds and two assists in the championship game.[11] The Frankfurt team exercised an option in June 2016 to keep Scrubb for the 2016-17 season.[12] However, he missed the beginning of the season due to problems with his knee.[13]

International play

Scrubb has represented Canada on the international stage several times:[14] He helped Canada’s U18 win a bronze medal at the 2010 FIBA Americas and also played for Team Canada at the 2011 U19 World Championships. The same year, he made Canada’s roster for the Panamerican Games. In 2013, Scrubb attended the World University Games and in 2015, he helped Canada win the Marchand Cup and capture bronze at the FIBA Americas. He also played for Team Canada at the 2016 Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Manila.
