Immanuel Quickley

Quickley was a sporadic producer during Year 2 and finished with nearly identical scoring numbers (11.3 points per game) to his rookie campaign, though he did increase his rebounding (3.2 per game) and assist (3.5) production. The No. 25 overall pick in 2020 struggled to consistently score the ball and shot just 39.2 percent from the field and 34.6 percent from three (5.1 attempts per game). However, the dynamic guard displayed his full potential when given an extended opportunity. Across three starts, the Kentucky product averaged 22.3 points, 6.3 assists and 4.7 rebounds, including a 34-point, 12-assist and 10-rebound triple-double during the regular-season finale -- his second triple-double of the campaign. With Kemba Walker and Alec Burks gone and Jalen Brunson now in the mix, Quickley will likely garner a similar role in Year 3, though he may be pushed for playing time from fellow youngsters Miles McBride, Quentin Grimes and Cam Reddish, who have all shown flashes early in their respective careers. Derrick Rose is still in the mix, but it's unclear what type of player he'll be after another devastating lower-body injury.
