IQ catching back up, I think they’ll end up being a wash between the two

Maxey can d up like IQ? I think not

Voted Quickley since the beginning

Maxey is ridiculously bad defender

Still think Maxey has more potential than IQ on offense but clearly IQ has blown him away on defense

While this thread is entertaining the crazy part is the Knicks were trying to draft the two of them together as a duo in the 20’s and they almost pulled it off.

Both the Knicks and Philly are really lucky there was no tournament that year because no way would either of them have fallen that late. Kentucky was actually looking like they could have made a good run that that year and they both might have gone lottery bound.

IQ is better. Defense matters.

Just read through it, lots of hilariously bad takes in here, I won't say their names though

Maxey has turned into a really good offensive player (20 PPG + 40% 3PT) but his defense is flat out terrible. As a POA defender he’s awful, physically he gets overmatched, he needs help on drives frequently, he’s not good at switching and he dies on screens.

-Better and more diverse shooter

-Better Handle

I think the shooting is what puts it over the top for me. Maxey relies on power drives and spot up 3s to get his points. IQ was one of the better pull up shooters in the league last year as a rookie and he's starting to build off of it to expand other areas of his game. He's also a really good point of attack defender. I think IQ's game translates more to high leverage hoops more than Maxey does. If you don't give Maxey the ball he's less of a threat than IQ. IQ can function both on and off-ball as a legit offensive threat. Think this board generally underrates IQ as an offensive prospect. He has the chance to be elite on that end, especially, if he continues to drive as much as he has early on.

Love when I'm right lol.

I actually was wrong on Maxey a bit here though. He's turned into a great shooter and all around offensive player.

Quickley has taken off though. His passing has taken a leap since I posted this and he's become a much better finisher at the rim and he's even better defensively than I ever thought he'd be.

It's close because Maxey is a super efficient guard who probably doesn't get the opportunity he should given Harden and Embiid dominate a lot of possessions. Could say the same about Quickley though too.

2 good players. You're splitting hairs in a lot of ways picking 1 of them over the other IMO

You pick Quickley because his defense is already excellent. Good enough to merit all nba defensive team consideration.

Thank God I wasn't crapping on IQ, at least in the post I found just 2 pages back. Lord only knows what kind of dumb stuff I might have said 3 pages before that.

Always knew Quickley was the real deal.

Those games to end the season were not a fluke. It's obvious the talent was there. Opportunity was the difference.

IQ's work ethic, desire, and competitive nature would inevitably bear fruit in time.

Now he's shining like the sun, and will get even better as he further develops.

Lesson of the day: the path of development is not linear. Every player has a different path. stop writing off productive young Knicks as finished products before they even reach 23

Maxey makes some weird faces like he farted or something.
