17. G Immanuel Quickley, New York Knicks

True to his name, Immanuel Quickley is a lightning fast player and electrifying every time he steps on the court. New York Knicks fans may not be ready to see the young gunner go. In terms of his shooting, that remains a work in progress.

IQ primarily comes off the bench, but is averaging 12.5 points and 3.1 assists per game. He’s a big fan of grabbing a rebound on the defensive end and sprinting to the other side of the court, either driving straight to the hoop or pulling up for a quick three-pointer.

Quickley hit 38.9 percent of his threes in his rookie season, but his shot has been trending downwards since. He’s a 33.8 percent three-point shooter this season, good for a mark of 35.8 percent for his career, held aloft by his lofty rookie mark.

But he has his health going from him, not one to usually miss a game (although some knee soreness has hampered him recently). He’s also young and had his fourth-year option for next season exercised in October.

It’s unclear if the Knicks plan on dealing Quickley at the deadline or not, as rumors have put the player on both sides of the trade block in recent weeks. If they do deal him, the Phoenix Suns are one rumored fit, while the Milwaukee Bucks also seem like a logical destination. A late first-round pick may be enough to get him.
