We are due some luck. He already has a strong floater, draws fouls at a great clip, can shoot the ball and handle an offense. Small sample but he changes the pace immediately.

Like his energy, no fear at all.

include Brogdon too

Brogdon is a great comp actually. Thick kid, good shot, not spectacular but effective in many ways.

You're right. He's smaller than Brodgon but skill wise it's a good comp.

i wouldn't overextend the comp. they have both been routinely underrated. and both have old school aspects to their game -- which remain effective. But squiggy is still on the skinny side, has more wiggle to his game and is far more willing to drive for a tear drop or alley oop

on a side note: if malcom didn't play out of his mind the other night we could have had a blood bath against the pacers

* Another way to look at it would be that he's somewhere between Seth Curry and Steph Curry. Pure shooting, check. He might have better tools as a defender than either of them. He seems to have more quickness/wiggle/creativity to his game than Seth.

(In spite of having the right pedigree, it's fascinating how Seth has had to scrape his way to the NBA - he's currently starting for the Sixers this season, averaging 16ppg/4apg. It has to be said that Quickley's upside is highly dependent on his coach, system, and teammates)

agree. i also think IQ has a certain Joie de vivre which his teammates like. KK plays better with him. Obi too

I was one of the first to call out frank as a potential bust, now I'm telling you this kid Quickly is special

Lol. You never miss any opportunity to attack Frank, but I do agree that Quickley looks like a starter to me. Once he gets a better understanding of how to run the offense and once Randle and Barrett trust him more, this kid is going to blowup. He is already a better shooter than anyone on the team not named Burks. Plus, he has a knack for drawing fouls and he plays good defense. I don’t see how this kid is not starting by the end of the year. At the very least, he should be getting 20-25 minutes a game.

Funny thing is, I think the guys already do trust him. I was irritated at how Randle created two 3s for him and he turned the both down to give the ball back to him. All is well because he looks fantastic right now

What Quickley is is smart like rondo

And he has offensive skills

when he's on the court, RJ and Julius have so much better spacing. And guys like KK expect a pass at the right time and the pg trusts him -- no reluctant passes. i just have to imagine he's talking to KK and reminding him to play hard and stay locked in and when he gets that pass it's for him to shoot it

he's the straw stirring the drink

Do you really think he can be an allstar ?

I do
