Immanuel Quickley has been playing like the Sixth Man of the Year this season. The third-year guard is averaging 14.1 PPG, 4.1 RPG and 3.3 APG in 28.5 minutes off the bench this year for the New York Knicks. IQ has started just 17 of the Knicks’ 75 games, making him a prime candidate for the award.
The former SEC Player of the Year bolstered his resume on Monday night by scoring a career-high 40 points — this time as a starter — in a 137-115 win over the lowly Houston Rockets.
