Its a remarkable thing to behold. I’m not sure what I am seeing really. He runs and without breaking stride sort of chucks the ball and yet it goes in. I’m not sure iM quite ready either!

Mark Jax's floater or Tear-Drop as we called back in the day, is a little different than Quickley's. Jax's tear-drop was off two-feet which allowed Mark to be a more under control. Quick's running floater is more difficult to pull off because of his momentum going towards the basket. But, he shoots it the correct way because like Mark, the floater is more of a knuckle-ball which allows the ball to die on the rim and drop in.

Quick just seems to make the game easier, simpler. If he wasn't such a great shooter, you'd think he was just running at the basket and chucking, but he has such great feel and control when he leaves his feet, and the better thing is he seems, at least from what I remember, so much faster than Jax with the floaters.

Yeah I know small sample size and big comp, but his floater does remind me of Tony Parkers game a lot!
I am super impressed with the confidence he takes those difficult shots and the percentage he is making them!
Nice pick without any question!

A deep shooting Tony Parker. Great comparison

Thanks! Now if we somehow could transform Mitch Rob into Tim Duncan...

First step would be a 8-12 feet bank shot. That alone would put MR into the All Star conversation.

Add a legitimate jump hook to this and the conversation would be over.

Hopefully those are both easier to come by, right before he develops a killer 3pt shot... If we're going car shopping, let's buy all the options...

Imagine IQ being able to draw the D in and then dish it out to an actual 7ft 3pt threat...

Yeah I forgot to add in "chucklehead/diva" 7ft 3pt threat.

BRIGGS, thy name is relentlessness

I honestly dont follow the Rockets enough to tell how Woods gets his statline. What kind of player he is and how well he would complement or mimic a player like Randle.
I mention Randle here as he has shown that he can be a relyable, high level contributor on this team - I really like the step he took in his game compared to last season and he is still young enough to be a building block!

Actually I do like the overall set-up we have in our roster in terms of clear-roles for the players and skill set they have. Talentlevel on certain positions obviously is a topic as is consistency which of course is pretty normal within a young roster. Of course there are players/spots which I would like to be enhanced or changed in terms of skillset at the position, but overall its a nice and well composed group of players!

At this point I really enjoy that my thoughts are, after what feels like a century, back to rooting for consistent wins for my team instead of rooting for a good pick in the draft! I understand this is not a championship roster - far from it - but its a young team that competes and will only grow and learn. So this is a real change in my mindset as a diehard Knicks fan! And I really like it!

Whining about IQ starting? Why not instead praise all things Johnny Bryant, Thibs and of course any that might have had a hand in drafting him (Little Perry love perhaps?) and of course our very own Assistant Coach Payne who coached this kid for two years at UK!
KnickDanger @ 1/25/2021 12:59 PM
Seems to me Thibs is bringing him along perfectly.

It's exciting to watch Quickley progress over the course of his Knick career - it's just interesting that he's gained so much trust by the coaching staff that he basically has a greenlight to shoot whenever he's open.

He's being given the same treatment Fizdale did with Trier... except he runs the plays first - and makes an initial read - if there's an open look behind the arc, take it, otherwise continue the play.

If the Knicks keep seeing the zone, they need to consider options for lineups to counter that - perhaps playing Obi at center and Quickley at PG.
