Immanuel Quickley
Immanuel Quickley, born on June 17, 1999, in Havre de Grace, Maryland, grew up immersed in Baltimore’s competitive basketball culture. His early talent flourished at The John Carroll School, where he became a top-ranked high school point guard and a McDonald’s All-American.
Quickley continued his rise at the University of Kentucky, playing under Coach John Calipari. In his sophomore season, he averaged 16.1 points per game, earning SEC Player of the Year honors with his sharpshooting and leadership. His success at Kentucky paved the way for his NBA journey.
Selected in the first round of the 2020 NBA Draft by the New York Knicks, Quickley made an immediate impact as a dynamic scorer and playmaker. Known for his floater, three-point shooting, and energy off the bench, he quickly became a fan favorite at Madison Square Garden. In 2024, Quickley was traded to the Toronto Raptors, where he continues to showcase his versatility and scoring ability, solidifying himself as a vital asset in the team’s backcourt rotation
