"Over the last four games, he is averaging 21.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 8.0 assists per game, while committing just 1.8 turnovers, on absurd 61.2 / 55.0 / 100 shooting splits. Those numbers are inflated somewhat by his performance against the Golden State Warriors, where he delivered one of the most efficient 40-point games in NBA history. Even setting that outlier aside, Quickley has consistently provided exactly what Toronto has needed during this stretch."
"One wrinkle Darko Rajaković has leaned into more frequently is pairing Quickley with Shead in the backcourt. That alignment allows Quickley to operate with less pressure to be a traditional point guard, something he was rarely asked to do before this season. On the year, Toronto owns a +11.33 net rating in the 287 minutes where those two have shared the floor."
The Toronto Raptors are 3-1 on a Western Conference road trip with one game remaining. Immanuel Quickley has emerged as a key contributor, averaging 21.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 8.0 assists over the last four games with elite shooting splits and low turnovers. One high-efficiency 40-point outlier against the Warriors inflates some numbers, but Quickley has consistently supplied needed production. Coach Darko Rajaković has increasingly paired Quickley with Jamal Shead, producing a +11.33 net rating in 287 shared minutes. Scottie Barnes achieved All-Star recognition but did not make the starting lineup, finishing 12th in the fan vote.
