When the New York Knicks drafted Immanuel Quickley out of Kentucky in the second round of the 2020 NBA draft, nobody imagined he would be averaging 11.4 points per game and shooting nearly 40% from range in his rookie season.
Quickley emerged as a catalyst for the Knicks’ offense, and the team learned a sufficient amount regarding his usages and capitalizing on his strengths.
The Knicks weren’t the only team to notice his astronomical progression this past year, as both Quickley and eighth overall pick Obi Toppin will get summer reps against team USA in Las Vegas.
