Tyrese Maxey VS Immanuel Quickley

[moocow007]

Everybody put your bias aside. Who would you take

With Simmons out, Maxey has been killing with a much bigger role

Im convinced Quickley would be able to do the same if god forbid Kemba gets injured

Who yall rolling with?

Neither guy plays the point. Maxey was higher on my board even though I wasn't a big fan (not because he couldn't shoot 3's but I thought he was a combo guard that really wasn't great at creating his own shot or getting others involved). Quickley right now is kinda a streak 3 point shooter is about it which is not surprising since that's what he was at Kentucky. Maxey is a bit more versatile and a better all around player. The big knock against Maxey was his shooting coming into the draft. That seems to have gotten a whole lot better. So while I'm not a fan of Maxey and think he's a bit over inflated value wise right now I'd go with him just as I would have gone with him in the draft had both he and IQ been available when the Knicks picked (Maxey wasn't). Which is basically what I said earlier in this thread.

Maxey right now. But more importantly, I just love watching these two doppelgängers who were college teammates - in the same backcourt - both drafted in the first round - chase each other around the court "with reckless abandon" as they braids flop all over the place. Give me more IQ and Maxey. Hell, I'd pay to watch them play one-on-one in some high school gym.

I probs wouldve def said iq last year, but this year Im leaning maxey. But I can see myself flipping back under the right circumstances

[spree2kawhi]

27?

Maxey with that sexy 4:1 assist to turnover ratio. And he's basically in the 50-40-90 club. There is no rational human who would take IQ over Maxey. And that's not necessarily a knock on IQ. Maxey is just really good.

It’s interesting to see how many people didn’t think Maxey was better than IQ way back in NoVember. When it was even obvious then. People was really thinking IQ was that dude lol.

[thebuzzardman]

Maxey ... He actually has a legit handle. IQ handle is ass overall. Its what limits his ability to be starter. Maxey was considered the better player since College. IQ basically became a bench player at UK because of Maxey coming in.

Yet you can tell IQ did, in fact, work on his handle, or at least some moves with it. He's starting from a less place, but he did do some work. Again, maybe not enough and IQ had to learn just what level of maniacal off season work it takes to get better at the NBA level

I was going to post that several, sh*tty, positive takes of mine on IQ were probably in here and yup, found one immediately on page 1.

Dude just sucks.

There. Much more concise.

Knicks have perfected on missing out on a player by a couple of draft spots. Legendary capability.

Well, hindsight is always 20/20. And it's not like Maxey was even available when the Knicks picked IQ. So yeah... Just a masochistic thread Next up - Evan Mobley VS Deuce McBride?

Maxey has a crapton of minutes as a starter on a contending team. That learning experience and exposure is way better for a young player, and I feel that he will have a better career because of it.

I love IQ but he's being disserviced playing for the Knicks and Thibodeau.

[3toheadmelo]

Sixers refused to give up Maxey for Harden. Knicks on the other hand would not hesitate to include IQ for Harden imo. So there’s your answer. Maxey looks like a 3 level scorer who can start full time. IQ looks like a 6th man

The development on a tank team as opposed to a winning team is the reason the Knicks never get to extend contract to players they draft because the losing sinks their value, and impact, see guys like frank, Knox, shumpert, Kp,

[KnixtapeH20]

Where the no perspective crew at that said IQ was no where near the player Maxey is?

Yall wanna rethink those statements or u good?

IQ turned it around after looking like sh*t for quite a bit of the season.

He was probably trying to process how to run point effectively while still be the gun slinging scorer he prefers to be.

He seems to have put the two together in the last 20 games, and that's pretty commendable.

To me, based on early results, I thought the Knicks were making a mistake with the experiment, though I got why they'd want to do it with a guy who seemed to be a 6th man/combo guard type - why not have him better at PG, so could play at both guard spots?
They seem to have been right.

Now get rid of Burks and let IQ have the backup PG/SG role, at the least.

When I need a reminder to be patient I will think of Quickley, because I was turning sour on him this season like many people were.

I've been steadfast behind Obi and RJ, but for some reason my support of IQ wavered, probably because he was getting pretty wacky in his shot selection.

But this kid really pulled it together and now he looks like he's going to be really good.

We can all learn from this as fans. You really need to give these guys enough minutes to play through their growing pains. It worked for IQ.

Agreed. I'd still go out and get Brunson if the cost of doing the trade isn't prohibitively high.
And pray they trade Burks so at least IQ's minutes can stay where they are.
Not sure what happens with Rose.

IQ coming on is a good thing, because technically Knicks could try to go with IQ/Rose, though I prefer IQ taking Burks role
However, there is the risk Rose winds up playing 30 games again
But, add Brunson or similar level player and then what? IQ the backup SG only? Which means even if Burks is gone, Grimes or Cam gets kicked out of the rotation.

Knick have multiple decisions to make. Again, IQ can spend one more year not being the PG. He's 22. Next year, Rose SHOULD be gone, even though he's good. Knicks can't chance another year of missing half the PG rotation most of the year. But Rose is too good and just a few years too young to be "PG Taj"

[NYKnickerbocker]

Maxey is still better by a decent margin. But I definitely felt people were turning on IQ too Quickley lol. He’s gunna be a good NBA player

It's bc once Grimes emerged IQ became less necessary.

Oops. I started writing thinking this was a Thybulle vs Quickley thread. those thoughts deleted, lol. (MT >>> IQ, even tho I've been on IQ island all year.)
