We have a really good team and I came in as one of only two new players. There is a good culture and the club has helped me fit in.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_22547\" style=\"width: 1011px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22547\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1001\" height=\"668\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22547\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-22547\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Philip Scrubb &#8211; Photo Credit: Champions League<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nAs for the team\u2019s goals this season, Scrubb explained that in both the Champions League and in the domestic LNB, Limoges is striving to take home the hardware at the end of each campaign, \u201cWe\u2019re taking it game by game but we want to be competitive and we want to reach the end in both competitions. We have a great group of guys and we want to advance and make the playoffs where we will have the chance to compete for both titles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 6\u20194 guard had an excellent first game and got into the swing of things quickly making a great first impression on his new team, \u201cI have been given a lot of confidence from the coach. I knew what my role was going to right away and I play as I usually play. My teammates trust me with the ball.&#8221;<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_22543\" style=\"width: 990px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/462.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22543\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/462.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"980\" height=\"462\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22543\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-22543\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Philip Scrubb &#8211; Photo Credit: FIBA<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nThe Richmond, British Columbia native was born into a basketball family, so he knew form a pretty young age that he would following in their steps and also saw plenty of live NBA action close to home, \u201cBoth my brother Thomas (who is also a professional basketball player in France with JL Bourg) and our parents played in university. A children we played outside and watched a lot of basketball on TV, so we knew that basketball was going to be the sport that we were going to focus on. When the Grizzlies were still in Vancouver we went to a lot of games and we split season tickets with friends. I can really remember when Allen Iverson and Vince Carter came to town.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for role models, it\u2019s no surprise who Scrubb enjoyed watching and who he looked up to, \u201cMostly my parents, but when I younger it was Michael Jordan who was pretty special He made me fall in love with basketball. My brother and parents were my role models though as to how I should act on and off the court and represent them well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When it was time to head to college, choosing Carleton in the nation\u2019s capital of Ottawa was a fairly easy decision he explained, \u201cMy brother began University a year before me and I saw how he enjoyed it when he came back from his first year. I also spoke to coach Dave Smart who stressed that he would give me all the tools to make me a pro player. My parents and I trusted him to do that and it was one of the best decisions I made going to Carleton.&#8221;<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_22548\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/maxresdefault-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22548\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/maxresdefault-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22548\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-22548\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Thomas Scrubb &#8211; Photo Credit: YouTube.com<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nInterestingly enough, the Scrubb brothers are both playing in France but due to the corornavirus it\u2019s been a challenge for them to see one another, \u201cWe haven\u2019t gotten to see each other yet and we were supposed to play each other but the game was canceled. It was special to play with each other with the Canadian National Team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After averaging 16.6 points in five years at Carleton, Scrubb turned pro and headed to Europe where he spent a number of seasons with the Fraport Skyliners based in Frankfurt, \u201cCoach Gordie Herbert invested a lot in me especially when I arrived in the middle of the season and even the year after when I was out with a knee injury. The team gave me another shot I had a good year. The culture of the organization is really good and they brought in hard working guys with personality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In Germany, Scrubb became close with fellow Carleton graduate Aaron Doornekamp who went on to play in the Euroleague with Valencia and ended up showing his Maple Leaf compatriot the ropes playing international hoops, \u201cAaron is a great player and even better person. He looked out for me and that really helped me adjust to a new team. Mike Morrison was also always trying to get me out of my shell and we still talk.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_22544\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/maxresdefault.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22544\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/maxresdefault.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22544\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-22544\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Philip Scrubb &#8211; Photo Credit: YouTube.com<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nAfter averaging 18.3 points in the 2017\/18 season, the next stop for Scrubb was in Russia signing with Zenit St. Petersburg where he met up with Israeli guard and National Team captain Gal Mekel, \u201cGal and I got along well. We\u2019re still in contact and he\u2019s a really good player and plays at a very high level. He played well at the point and we overachieved going to the semifinals of the VTB League which marked a good year for the club.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>In the summer of 2019, Scrubb was part of Team Canada which took part of the World Cup in China where he was able to work under NBA Champion head coach Toronto Raptors Nick Nurse along with many other players who featured in the \u201cWorld\u2019s Best League\u201d, \u201cIt was a really good experience. The World Cup was great as we were able to compete in a tough group with Lithuania and Australia but having Nick Nurse and quality players was really important for us. As long as the team can keep the culture the same then we have a chance to qualify for the Olympics.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_22553\" style=\"width: 740px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/9GfUIaGjH0CAy0KG3jJ7Cg.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22553\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/9GfUIaGjH0CAy0KG3jJ7Cg.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"730\" height=\"404\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22553\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-22553\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Philip Scrubb &#8211; Photo Credit: FIBA<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nAs for Limoges against Hapoel Jerusalem, Scrubb isn\u2019t taking the Reds lightly, \u201cThey are a very talented team and they have a lot of guys who can score.
