It's how Coach Cal used him, he's was his best shooter so he used him in that roll. Remember Cal uses his players not to their strengths but to help him win. Remember Quickley was a Passing PG in H.S I think this kid is our steal of the draft. and I love Toppin don't get me started on him, he will electrify the Garden. This Draft gets a A from me both players are high character, not addicted to video games like Knox was and both played at a high level in school. Then Bringing him the NY breed boy I think we are headed I the right direction.
Would love to see a Line up of:
Quickley-PG
Barrett-SG
(We need SF) trade for one or Iggy not high on Knox.
Toppin-PF
Mitch-C
Toppin would be spinning like a literal top trying to create his own shot a la Julius Randle in that situation cause...wow...that may be the worst passing team in NBA history.
Just looking at that starting five makes me ill.

Mitch, Toppin, and RJ doesn’t excite you? That’s a nice young core.

Need more playmaking and outside shooting. Just with those three guys alone we would need to have elite playmaking and spacing elsewhere.
