immanuel quickley, low IQ (pun intended)

[SeattleJazzFan]

Lmao. This video is today's NBA in a nutshell

no this video is one play of immanuel quickley. whether it's him in a nutshell, i don't know as i don't watch him enough, but i watch a lot of nba and i've never seen anybody do that - or really anything like it.

Obi should've given it up earlier at half court so he could have gotten it back. The shot Quickley took though is just flat out inexcusable though.

I'm not so sure ... it's hard to tell if Obi's pass slowed IQ down, or if IQ slowed it down; but by the time the ball was in his hands Sabonis had caught up and was moving in position to contest.

IQ created an open look and fired away ... a lot of people would be going nuts if that went in.

The question is did he pass up an easy layup for a tougher 3pt shot?

Or did Toppin and IQ just fail to execute the 2v1 break properly ...

[The4thHorseman]

So nobody's going to mention that Sabonis got back on defense and was directly in front of Quickley when he received the pass?

Reminds me of this

This

Nothing low iq about this play at all op. This is how the game is played these days. Guarantee you every single game tonight will have someone shooting a fast break 3 with man advantage 100000%

Nice try trying to **** on quickley tho

It's good as satire for todays NBA, but overall I agree.

The fast break was run poorly. IQ dribbling out and chucking up a step back 3 was absurd though.

It was a pretty unique sequence, but what's absurd about him creating and and taking an open 3pt shot (assuming he's got a green light from his coach)?

[BostonCouchGM]

nice fake outrage. He could have pulled it back and ran plays to find someone open for a three but instead took his open shot. Much to do about nothing. Steph and others do this type of thing all the time.

[Antinomy]

I kept looking for SOMETHING I was missing.

A low shot clock
The end of the quarter
Going for a tie late in the game

But this dude really just passed on a layup over Sabonis to shoot an off the dribble fading 3-pointer with 18 on the clock.

Unbelievable.

Passing up an open layup to take a three pointer instead? Idk what league you're watching dude but that happens like 5 times a night. You're taking my comment way too literally

This is what people are talking about, you guys in denial can tell us to leave, stop watching, yell at clouds, old heads, etc. That play is despicable and what's wrong with "today's game" -- playstyle, players thought process, and not being held accountable. The 3pt shot has turned the game into a joke.

[NYKnickerbocker]

I was more mad at Obi for not giving the ball up earlier tbh. He either had to pass it up right away or take it to the hole him self. Sabonis was already infront of Quickley by the time he got the ball from Obi.

[BenoUdrihFTL]

this is not low IQ

this is the result of analytics and how it has undermined the way the game has evolved. this here quickley shot is merely an exagerration of what you see COUNTLESS times with any given game, ie the taking of the 3pt shot when a team is 1-ahead, 2- behind by 1, 3- behind by 2, 3- or tied, or taking the 3 on a fast break...and as a last shot no less

the rules are developing and encouraging stupidity and players will adapt and evolve on it...highly developed stupid players

The shot is crazy but I have seen this happen time after time in a regular game the guy under the basket, who could lay it up or perhaps get fouled going for the basket, passes to the outside and they keep it moving until someone takes a 3 and misses. Crazy just crazy.

Ahh the Jimmy Butler special. I love the dude but he has to be the GOAT at foregoing inside buckets to pass out for a 3 that bricks

How so?

The goal of running an elaborate offense is to create an open look.

That's what Quickley ended up with because the defense was scrambling to collapse in the paint, and that's what he took. The only question should be whether there was a better shooter with an open look he might have passed the ball to and whether Quickley should have a green light in the first place.

[axeman23]

He was going for the tie.

With almost 8 minutes left in the game?

This is also why modern players are so much better than the players of the past. The rise of social media means that people can cherry pick one random and use it as evidence of all of the so-called problems with the league today.

Whereas back in the day a low IQ play on a Tuesday game gets buried and forgotten into obscurity. No replays, no analysis, no criticism. Players nowadays play under a way bigger microscope.

stop. Any analytics person would tell you a layup or fts are better than a turnaround fade away, especially on a 2v1 fast break.

This play is anti analytics if anything.

Then why do players run to the 3 point line on fast breaks now? Don't make me pull up the Denver clip where all 5 guys ran to the 3 point line when they could have won the game with a layup lol.

[axeman23]

He was going for the tie.

That's what i initially thought. Then i looked down and the knicks are up by 3 and there are 7 minutes left in the game.

Wtf was he thinking.

Not that complicated, he just misread the scoreboard
