When the New York Knicks drafted Immanuel Quickley in 2020, they didn’t imagine he would become one of their catalysts on offense. At 21-years-old, Quickley made 64 appearances, averaging 19.4 minutes per game. He produced 11.4 points, 2.0 assists, and shot nearly 40% from the field. He also connected on 39% of the shots from three, averaging 4.7 times per game. With a 50% effective field-goal percentage, Quickley is heading into the 2021-22 season with improvements on his mind but a solid foundation to build off of.
Critics might focus on his assist per game from last season, claiming that he is not capable of playing point guard, but he proved otherwise during Summer League play this off-season.
