Tyrese Maxey on Immanuel Quickley: 'He'll make a lot of money'
Quickley’s financial future is less certain after turning down extension offers. But after reportedly asking for $125 million, the guard is in a better position to earn that figure in free agency after a showcase season in Toronto. Maxey also benefited from a greater opportunity this season because Philadelphia traded James Harden. He is now a front-runner for an All-Star nod. “I’m pretty sure [Quickley] will be OK,” Maxey said. “He’ll make a lot of money.”

While OG Anunoby was on the Raptors this year, Darko didn’t always put OG on the best perimeter player because Darko really liked Schroder’s on-ball defense.
With the Knicks, OG has guarded Anthony Edwards, DeMar DeRozan and Tyrese Maxey. Thibs using him more like Nurse. – 9:53 AM

Immanuel Quickley a deep 3 is no good, Keegan Murray puts this one in the books, as the Kings improve to 21-13 on the season, beating the Raptors 135-130. – 12:32 AM

Immanuel Quickley with a quick layin, Raptors get the stop on De’Aaron Fox and Quickley with an awful 3-point attempt trying to draw a foul. Chris Boucher able to rebound for Toronto who calls timeout. Kings up 3 with 9 secs to go – 12:30 AM

If these last 2 games have shown us anything about Immanuel Quickley it’s that the young man isn’t the least bit deterred by a slow start. Another big 2nd half for IQ. – 12:23 AM

What a sequence for Boucher – scoring off a nice feed from Quickley, then drawing the charge on Sabonis (currently being challenged). Raptors have cut a 23-point deficit down to 5 with 4 minutes left. – 12:17 AM

Good minutes from this Quickley-Schroder-Siakam-Boucher-Poeltl lineup. Needed impact minutes from Dennis and Chris and you’re getting it, Jak’s been better in this stint. Couple gut punch 3s given up. Gotta close the quarter strong. – 11:01 PM

For years, the Raptors thrived with 2 point guards playing together in the backcourt. Small sample, obviously, but the Quickley-Schroder duo has been fun so far. They were a team-best +22 in 25 minutes together over the past 2 games and it’s looking good again tonight. – 10:53 PM

More on this storyline
Quickley was dealt with RJ Barrett to the Raptors for OG Anunoby, ending a three-plus year stint in New York that included breakthrough performances but declining playing time because of New York’s guard glut. The sparkplug scorer was immediately thrust into Toronto’s starting lineup and scored 26 points in a season-high 33 minutes during Wednesday’s victory over the Grizzlies. “I was happy for him. He’s over there, he’s starting, he’s having a good time,” said Maxey, who posted 27 points and nine assists but was 1 of 7 from long distance in Friday’s loss. “I think he’ll get a little bit more of an opportunity. I’m happy for him. I’m sad that I don’t get to play against him tonight. But I’m happy for him.” -via New York Post / January 6, 2024
Coach Nick Nurse believes Maxey should be an All-Star for the first time in his career. “He’s making a great case,” Nurse said of Maxey. “I think everybody’s certainly seen yet another big step up for him. For me, I put a lot of stock in where your team is in the standings, right? I know a lot of people talk about that, right? For me, that’s like way up there. Start at the top and you start looking at who’s impacting the teams that are winning big time, right?” -via Sixers Wire / January 4, 2024
Austin Krell: Nick Nurse says that he liked how Maxey was willing to bump with his body on defense tonight. Says that, on the first foul (he hit Caruso), Maxey told the ref, “That’s what they do to me, so I’m gonna start this game doing it today.” -via Twitter @NBAKrell / January 2, 2024
After three years with the New York Knicks, the Toronto Raptors created a new environment for Immanuel Quickley. Over his first two appearances after being traded to the lone NBA franchise located in Canada, he produced 20.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.0 steals, and 0.5 blocks per contest. The Raptors winning both games adds to a brilliant start. However, advice from Serbian tactician Darko Rajakovic during the game versus the Memphis Grizzlies at FedExForum on Wednesday was particularly unexpected. -via EuroHoops.net / January 5, 2024
“He pulled me aside while the game was going on and said, ‘You’re not having fun. Have fun,’” revealed the Kentucky product, “I have never really had a coach do that. He told me that. Then I started skipping.” Set to become a restricted free agent this summer, Quickley has been impressed by the Raptors. “The whole organization has made it really easy, to be honest,” he said. “Family-environment, the way the guys have accepted me, showing me different things, coaches, trainers, everybody, top to bottom and this is a top tier organization. So it makes it really easy for me to be honest, the basketball part.” -via EuroHoops.net / January 5, 2024
