Immanuel Quickley (1999)<\/p>\n

Quickley was the 25th overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft by the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was part of a multi-team trade just three days later, spending his first four seasons with the New York Knicks. He became a great bench player in his sophomore season, finishing 10th in Sixth Man of the Year voting. Quickley followed that up by finishing second in Sixth Man of the Year voting the following year, averaging 14.9 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.0 steals per game. That forced him into the starting lineup the following season, which was his final year in NY. The Toronto Raptors acquired him in 2023, with Quickley averaging 17.9 points, 4.2 rebounds and 6.3 assists as the Raptors starting point guard over the last two seasons.<\/p>\n
