He's pressing a bit, but once the game slows down for him, I think he'll be fine. And he's actually trying on defense, too.

Maybe the game wouldn't have gone the same if he had been.

The team played with a level of force and decisiveness that he unfortunately lacks. Doesn't mean he can't have a role, but just saying.


Nah, Frank & Quick looked like they were already completely in sync when they were on the court together. Smart defenders doing smart defender things, and all that.

Oh snap!


he just needs to shoot better. we're not gonna run a ton of post ups for him. he can get opportunity baskets cutting or finding the open spot but it's gonna be hard for him to have big offensive nights if he doesn't.

He was too tentative out there. Looks uncomfortable with the ball in his hands. But I’m not going to judge anyone based on a few preseason games. Let’s see how he does during the season.

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.

Looked to me like he was angling his left shoulder towards the basket. Not sure he did that last season but it looked practiced...if that makes sense. Was really impressed with his preseason so far.

Hop off that Frank stuff. It’s about Quickley now.

I believe we should show love to our guys long term. A lot of Knick fans,including myself, have the tendency of running their home grown talent out of town.

Yeah RJ Barrett is a damn good player I’m ecstatic about his progress already. He’ll have his ups and downs this year again, but he’s a presence on the floor and the game is sort of coming easy for him at the moment..... let’s hope he continues the trend up!

it’s his fourth games in the nba hes finding his way. he’s not being an idiot trying to force bad shots and he’s finding his teammates. that’s a good thing.
