When the New York Knicks selected Immanuel Quickley with the 25th overall pick, nobody expected him to be a revelation. Through 24 games, Quickley is averaging 12.4 points, 2.6 assists, and connecting on .412% of shots from the field per game. He’s also shooting .370 from three-pointer and has missed just four free throws this season.
Quickley has been an offensive weapon coming off the bench, as head coach Tom Thibodeau continues to start Elfrid Payton over the Kentucky product. At 21 years old, he’s just adapting to the NBA but has made significant strides forward in recent weeks.
