[@_analyKnicks] Immanuel Quickley’s 2nd of 252 players in defense per @FiveThirtyEight small-sample RAPTOR. He leads Knicks in deflections, steals, & D-reb (!) per poss; top-3 in distance traveled & contested shots per min. He’s 3rd in the entire NBA in defensive on/off.

He’s a defensive dog, in a good way of course.
His help defense has been really good, he looked great last night. And his rebounding is big, he really goes after them and rips them down.
You like your guards to get those deep rebounds.
it’s hard to overstate how improved he is on d since the end of his rookie year. obi too. thibs deserves a good amount of credit, even though he fucks up in a lot of other ways.
If he could only get his shooting back to where it was his rookie year….
