With the 25th pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, the Knicks drafted Immanuel Quickley out of Kentucky. He played three and a half seasons with New York before he was traded this season to the Raptors for O.G. Anunoby. Quickley played in 253 career games for the Knicks and made 27 starts. He averaged (12.9) points per game for his career with the Knicks. In Toronto, the former first-round pick played an expanded role and the ball was in his hands more.
That was not the case when he was with the Knicks. Last season, Quickley averaged (11.2) field goal attempts per game with the Knicks. In 38 starts with the Raptors, he took (14.7) shots per game. Additionally, his (18.6) points, (4.8) rebounds, (6.1) assists, and (33.3) minutes per game with Toronto were all new career highs. The Raptors saw something in Quickley and they’re giving him a long-term deal. Immanuel Quickley could be a player that’s in contention for Most Improved in 2024-25.
