CHOO! CHOO! All Aboard The Immanuel Quickley Bandwagon, Knicks Fans

CHOO! CHOO! Hear that? That's the sound of the Immanuel Quickley bandwagon filling up fast. As the conductor of the IQ bandwagon, may even start a hype group, I can tell you the doors will stay open for years. You think we give a shit that it was preseason? You think we give a shit it was against the Cavs? Hell no, we're Knicks fans. We're going to overreact, even if saying Immanuel Quickley is going to be fucking awesome is factually correct. 

Why does Immanuel Quickley matter? Because we don't have a fucking point guard! Dennis Smith Jr., is god awful and that's a compliment. It would not shock me if he gets cut or dumped for salary or something. There's nothing positive with him right now. Frankie Smokes, is, well, Frankie Smokes. You know what I'm talking about. He's fine defensively but doesn't give much from the lead guard spot on offense. Elfrid Payton isn't the answer. 

That's the beauty of Quickley, he can play on or off the ball. He's proving that, even though I tried warning you on draft night about him. Trust me, I've watched more Immanuel Quickley than perhaps anyone. He came to Kentucky as a lead guard. But he was paired in the backcourt with Ashton Hagans, who 100% can't play off the ball. So Cal moved Quickley to the shooting guard spot and used him as a main offensive player last year, hence why he won SEC Player of the Year. We saw that last night with his ability to be the lead guard. People who didn't watch Kentucky or college basketball or anything like that just saw his assists total last year and assumed he couldn't do it. It wasn't the offense. What he could always do was slither into the lane, finish and know how to throw a lob. 

See, this is the advantage of having Kenny Payne on staff. A guy who worked with all these Kentucky players, recruited these Kentucky players and knows their strengths. The biggest thing now is Thibs listening to him and playing the young guys. Just run IQ, Knox, RJ, Randle, Mitch and Obi as much as possible. We don't need to play Payton or Reggie Bullock. Payne is why I'm believing Kevin Knox will figure it out. But this is an IQ bandwagon. This is an IQ hype group. Just need a year to kinda suck, land Cade Cunningham/Jalen Green and let's fucking go. 

PS: Buy a shirt because the other rook is pretty good too
