Immanuel Quickley, PG, Kentucky

Composite Ranking: 15

Immanuel Quickley has great size and length for the modern point guard position. He is 6-fot-3, with a 6-foot-8 wingspan. Quickley is a good playmaker and doesn’t try to do too much when handling the ball. He has improved his jumpshot as well.

Quickley shouldn’t be counted on as a high volume scorer. He’s not a great athlete either. However, if he takes care of the ball, and can get into the lane making plays effectively, along with a consistent jumpshot, Quickley could see late first round interest as a possible back up point guard.

That’s a ton of question marks in order for him to become a one and done, and watching him struggle against an in your face, laterally quick, and intimidating defender like Luther Muhammad wasn’t encouraging.
