Tyrese Maxey VS Immanuel Quickley

[Nazrmohamed]

Here's Quickley's numbers as a starter

38.6 mpg 22.6 ppg 5.4 rpg 5.1 apg
46.9 FG% 40.1 FT % 84.6 3PT%

IQ could barely bring the ball up the court in the playoffs.

Not just the playoffs! I think me and HW were wondering why this can’t bring up the ball passes halfcourt on one man press

Makes me think he’s more suited as a 1.5

well he is a 1.5. I dont think thats a slight against him.

He's gotta improve still, but his improvement already has been awesome. From where he started to where he ended up...it's impressive. He's improved inside the arc, he's improved defensively, he's become a great rebounder.

I'd keep him over RJ at this point. Goes without saying over Randle too, but organizational politics and whatnot.

It's hard to justify keeping him over either of those guys, mainly because he wants starter money but as long as Brunson is here he's going to be a bench player, and in certain matchups you wont be able to play him & Brunson together for long stretches.

I might have a homeristic attachment to Quickley, but I'd be down to give him a shot at the 2, with the idea that he helps run the bench too. I think he's very switchable and he has the size to take the hardest of the 2 defensive assignments in the backcourt. Meanwhile, he'd benefit a lot from Brunson breaking down the d. However, it might be that he will need to go, because he sees himself as a starting PG.

Anyway, with a guy that improves this much, I want to lay a bet on that. Who else on this team has improved as much as Quickley on the Knicks?

Agree on all counts.

Certain matchups maybe but that don't mean you can't do it against the majority. And I'm not saying to actually start him at the 2 but he's getting starters minutes right now. All I'm saying is I hope that's not the logic to not pay him. I hope IQ can make it reasonable. Idk what the cba will be but based on today's I'd give him 20mil per.

[spree2kawhi]

Shake Milton got two years, 10 mil.

Lol

I was wondering when someone was gonna bump this

Yea, Maxey has leveled up.

Quickley is far in his rearview.

Nevertheless, Quickley is still an excellent player.

Still, you have to wonder how Quickley would look if he averaged 38 mins per game and took 20 shots per game like Maxey

This thread should be deleted for the greater good of Knicks realgm.

He wouldn't look anything like this though, Tyrese has a better handle and is much faster. The three point shooting combined with that speed and quickness is why he's doing what he's doing. He looks like Fox mixed with Lillards shooting which is an unfair combo.

I feel like too much of IQs offense is foul baiting and when the refs decide to swallow their whistle that's when he struggles, which is part of the reason he looked so bad in the playoffs.

[Capn'O]

Quick actually has a higher PER this year than Maxey had in any of his previous seasons. Maxey has just taken a leap.

If they were both Knicks there’d be rivers of blood in this thread

[nykballa2k4]

In IQ's defense, he isn't on a team where he is being given the keys as the #2 option.

[nyknicks09]

I like IQ but I don’t believe the Knicks made room for him after signing Hart and DDV into this roster.

Knicks should call the Clippers and see if they want Randle, IQ, Hart, and 2 1st round picks for Paul George and Hyland.

[duetta]

Quick had a poor shooting game last night. It happens. But Maxey was drafted even before our second pick in that draft.

If you want to second guess, you could imagine us trading down from eight to draft Maxey...while picking up additional picks and assets. Hindsight is always 20/20.

[spree2kawhi]

This thread is gold. I wasn’t going to bump it, but it was the elephant in the room.

Yes, I was wondering when you'd show. I'm actually surprised you didn't show up and gloat when IQ had a bad playoff series. Or maybe you did? Totally forgot. But yea, you were right. Kudos on you. Have a +1 cookie.

Still a huge unabashed IQ fan, though, and unashamed of it. Give my boy his fat contract!

[sixersinsider]

Knicks Front office needs to create a Market for Quick & bring in some Bigs that can shoot!
of all the 6ft4 redundancy on the team
he has the highest ceiling or highest chance of Fools Gold!
