New York Knicks: Immanuel Quickley | A- (90/100 points)

Entertainment Value: 10/10 points
Future with the Knicks: 10/10 points
Stability: 14/15 points
Chemistry: 17/20 points
Eye Test: 18/20 points
Statistics: 21/25 points

Entertainment Value: After Julius Randle, Immanuel Quickley was the most entertaining player on the New York Knicks this season. His handles, long-range and excitability all make him a fun player to watch.

Future with the Knicks: He was just a rookie, but Quickley showed signs that he’s not even close to his ceiling yet. There’s just one year remaining on his contract, but it’d be silly for New York not to pursue if, especially if he improves in year two.

Stability: Quickley had a few missed games during the season but nothing serious. He never missed more than four games in a row. New York Knicks fans have to see some promise in that.

Chemistry: I’m beginning to regret using this as a category because what the hell do I know? I’m not in the locker room. With that being said, I can’t go back now. I have every reason to believe that he’s an A+ teammate, but the one gripe is his shot selection. However, as a rookie that’s expected.

Eye Test: When I watch Immanuel Quickley play basketball I see Lou Williams. That means NBA veteran. Quickley is going to keep getting better as he ages. The only slight drawback is at 6-foot-3, he can really only guard one position.

Statistics: Among rookies, Quickley ranked eighth in PPG and 18th in APG. For someone who was a late first-round pick, that’s pretty darn good.
