When the New York Knicks drafted Obi Toppin with the eighth overall pick, they expected him to be a more influential factor than he has been during the 2021 season. Toppin is averaging just 4.6 points per game over 12.5 minutes, but 25th overall pick Immanuel Quickley has been looking like the stud the Knicks have been waiting for.
Over the past two games, Quickley scored 50 total points, and in the last performance against the Los Angeles Clippers, he was one of the highest-rated players on the floor. He shot 9-of-16 from the field, logging three rebounds and three assists over 27 minutes.
