NY Knicks’ rookie Obi Toppin was selected 8th overall this offseason with big expectations. He was an older prospect who was known to be an NBA-ready talent with offensive numbers in college that compared to the likes of Zion Williamson. But the rookie that has caught the heart of New York so far has been Immanuel Quickley, who was the 25th pick of the draft.
This year’s draft process was, for a lack of a better word, highly unorthodox. In what was claimed to be a weak draft class to begin with and there was a severe lack of data/sample size to assess some of the younger talents.
