Quickley continues to be a sporadic scorer but finished with career highs in points (14.9), rebounds (4.1), steals (1.0) and minutes (28.9) per game during the 2022-23 campaign. The backup point guard has also posted a 2.8 AST:TO ratio in each of the last two seasons. The most important jump for Quickley between Years 2 and 3 was his efficiency from the field. He was able to improve his field-goal percentage from 39.2 to 44.8 and his three-point percentage from 34.6 to 37.0 while also increasing his attempts per game. When given an expanded role, the Kentucky product excelled, averaging 22.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.2 steals in 38.5 minutes per contest across 21 starts. But he'll likely still come off the bench in 2023-24 after New York added Donte DiVincenzo to a backcourt that already featured Jalen Brunson, Quentin Grimes, Josh Hart and RJ Barrett. Quickley missed just one regular-season game last year, which allowed him to finish as the 67th overall fantasy scorer in eight-category leagues, but he was only 125th in per-game value. If he can stay healthy again, which hasn't been a concern over his first three campaigns, Quickley will have solid utility for a reserve, but his upside is limited as long as the Knicks' starting backcourt is available.

Reaches 15-point mark again
GNew York Knicks
November 27, 2023
Quickley recorded 18 points (4-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Sunday's 116-113 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS The Knicks lack a consistent scoring weapon outside of their trio of Julius Randle, Jalen Brunson and RJ Barrett, and more often than not, it's Quickley who ends up having solid performances off the bench. He's been on a roll of late and has scored at least 15 points in five of his last six outings, making him a valuable asset in fantasy due to his scoring prowess.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
In mix for Sixth Man of the Year
GNew York Knicks
December 1, 2023
Quickley is considered to be second in the early-season running for Sixth Man of the Year, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS Quickley finished the 2022-23 campaign second in the voting for Sixth Man of the Year, and he finds himself in a similar spot early this season. He's had considerable playing time despite operating exclusively off the bench this year, averaging 15.7 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 24.7 minutes per game over 18 appearances.
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.
Quickley emerged as one of the few steals of the 2020 NBA Draft, as the guard averaged 11.4 points, 2.1 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 0.5 steals during his rookie season. The 22-year-old landed managed to hit 39.5 percent from the field, 89.1 percent from the charity stripe and 38.9 percent from beyond the three-point arc. This upcoming season could be a rough one for Quickley, however, as the Knicks were able to add key pieces and depth to their backcourt. The acquisitions of Kemba Walker, Evan Fournier and Quentin Grimes will likely reduce Quickley's 2020 season average of 19.4 minutes. The former Kentucky guard has plenty of upside as a three-point shooting specialist, but his role could be compressed, leading to Quickley only providing fantasy value in deep leagues.
