Next Level Thinking: Immanuel Quickley Is Learning How To Throw Lobs To His Knicks Teammates By Playing 2k

[Post] - However, he has a knack for tossing alley-oops and said he’s learned Knicks tendencies by playing video games. He could form a nice dunk connection with high flyers Mitchell Robinson and Toppin. 

“I’ve actually got to play 2K and use the Knicks a couple times,’’ Quickley said. “So I’m already familiar with a lot of my teammates, been able to throw a couple of lobs to those guys

Pray for the NBA. It's that simple. Everyone else here trying to figure out how to get to know their new teammates, how can they practice before training camp stats. Not in New York. Not when Immanuel Quickley is here figuring it all out before you can even blink and say the Knicks have been irrelevant. Oh, not to mention IQ is one of the best video game players in the world. I'm not quite sure how, but I can guarantee it will translate to the floor. Just gotta trust him. 

I know people might freak out that they took him a couple spots too high, but they are forgetting a few things here. 1) He's one of the best shooters in the class both off the dribble and spot up. 2) He's a secondary ball handler that was a lead guard in high school. He can play either spot. 3) He also turned into one of the better on ball defenders last year. 4) He played under Kenny Payne for two years. That matters in terms of development when you have Payne and Johnnie Bryant who helped develop Donovan Mitchell. 

Oh and he's practicing throwing lobs to Obi Toppin? Sign me up, because this is what Obi Toppin can do:
