The NY Knicks added a big piece to their “Young core” when they traded up for Immanuel Quickley on draft night. Many draft analysts and knew that Quickley’s biggest strength was his shooting, but the ease with which it has translated to the NBA has been something no one could have seen coming. Quickley’s scoring capabilities are more than advanced for a rookie.
It’s been a long time since the Knicks had a young guard who began catching the attention of fans and players around the league in just their rookie season.
