The New York Knicks passed on utilizing their lottery pick on a point guard, but they might have found a solution in Kentucky shooter Immanuel Quickley.
Quickley spent two seasons with Kentucky in the SEC, averaging 5.2 points in his freshman season. However, his second year saw him blossom into an entirely different player, capable of shooting from all positions on the floor and connecting efficiently. He averaged 16.1 points per game, 1.9 assists, 4.2 rebounds, and a .417 field-goal percentage.
The Knicks enjoyed their first preseason game against the Detroit Pistons a few days ago, but Quickley didn’t even see the floor.
