Quickley Ranks 4th on the List
The cap hit for shooting guard Immanuel Quickley last season was $2,136,240. His point shares totaled 6.7, with $345,707 per point share. Judging by his performance during the year, Quickley was worth every penny.
The 6-3, 190-pounder from Kentucky had his best season ever in his third year with the Knicks. He averaged 14.9 points per game (74th best in league), 4.2 rebounds per game, 3.4 assists per game (72nd), and shot 44.8% from the field (92nd).
Quickley helped propel New York to the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference, giving fans of New York NBA betting plenty to cheer about. Quickley helped the Knicks to the playoffs for the second time in three years and just the second time overall over the past 10 seasons.
He was ranked an impressive fourth overall in the NBA in our rankings. Fellow teammate and guard Grimes also made the Top 25 at No. 16.
Last month, Quickley finished second to Boston Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon for the league's Sixth Man of the Year Award. Brogdon garnered 60 out of 100 first-place votes (408 total points) and Quickley recorded 34 first-place votes for 326 total points.
Grimes was a 2021 first-round pick by the Knicks out of Texas.
