I think that is probably low if he’s your starting point guard moving forward since it represents only 18% of the cap. At minimum you’d probably have to start him around 20%, which is $28M. That’s what we gave Lowry if you want to draw parallels.
I thought the max he could be signed for was 25M per year.

I believe we have full Bird rights so his max salary is 25% of the cap based on his years of service.

Maybe I'm wrong here but wasn't the $25m number what Quickley wanted from the Knicks? Wasn't it reported the Knicks didn't want to pay him $25m/year because he couldn't really play with Brunson so it didn't make sense to tie up that much money into one position (pg)? If that's the case it seems like 4/100m is what Quickley is looking for.

So far he’s putting up Jordan Clarkson numbers who is on a very team friendly deal.

That's pretty crazy.

Feels like he can reach another level in terms of playmaking too. Summer camp will be big for him.
I hope Darko can help him fix his pick up point on his lay ups. He’s smoking wide open lay ups sometimes lol.
Other than that, I’ve have 0 complaints. Amazing shooter.

But it'll come in time.

Clarkson's shooting 40% from the field and 30% from 3. His scoring is coming very inefficiently, which isn't the case for Quickley.

He takes some selfish pulls out of the flow of the offense at times - and there are gonna be people who blast him when he inevitably has a cold shooting stretch - he is not gonna shoot 47% from 3 forever. His inside the arc game is non existent right now for us, so hopefully he figures that out

Every fanbase hates their PG if they aren’t a first option caliber player so it’ll be par for the course.

This is true.

ya, everyone loves the role player who can hits some shots, plays tough and does a lot of the dirty work. They don't have much offensive responsibility so if they're invisible for a few games it doesn't matter. In some respects, OG was that guy for us.
The guys who take the most shots will get the blame for the losses and they will be the heroes when they win.

You should see how the Nuggets fanbase talks about Jamal Murray. Dude averaged 25/10 in the finals and half the fanbase still nitpicks every single that he does lol.
Just comes with the territory like you said.
There were multiply times when he encouraged SB to post up his man and he gave him a ball inside.
