I'm gonna temper my expectations for Quickley, but he's showed some damn good potential these last 2 games
Scoring at all 3 levels, distributing, and playing at least solid defense
I think his handle and his vision are both way better than advertised. I'll hold on to that CJ McCollum comparison by reminding myself that it took McCollum til his 3rd year to score more than 8 ppg, so we should be patient if Quickley doesn't play like this every night
But he showed more this game than any other PG on the roster this preseason, and if we're going by who's earned it, it should be him. Of course, I fully expect Payton to start game 1 and barring injury will be the starter til at least the All Star break, but Quickley deserves minutes and should be allowed to play through struggles that will inevitably come this year
If this is what we're getting this year, we might still be pretty bad, but it will at least be fun. Now just get Randle out and start Quick/Bullock/RJ/Obi/Mitch already.
