"Immanuel Quickley's 2025-26 season averages include 16.3 points on 42.4% shooting, 34.6% from three, 79.1% from the free throw line, along with 4.2 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and 1.1 steals per game in 41 starts for the Raptors so far. At first glance, those numbers aren't terrible - in fact, they're quite passable in most respects. But it's one thing to interpret metrics, and another to focus on the eye test and in-game assessments to draw conclusions."
"And more often than not, this year especially, Immanuel Quickley's decision-making and basketball IQ have been notable dilemmas - particularly since he is the Raptors' lead guard. Not to mention, his undesirable contract that continues to be a major topic of concern. Immanuel Quickley can be a mixed bag of hope and frustration for Raptors fans At his core - and at his best - Immanuel Quickley is one of the Raptors' most polished offensive shooting weapons. To maximize IQ on the court, you'd want to see him find his shooting rhythm, get good looks from beyond the arc, run solid pick-and-rolls (which is a bit tougher without Jakob Poeltl), and connect on his signature floaters. But I took grave concern during the Raptors' tilt against the Philadelphia 76ers last week on January 11."
Immanuel Quickley averaged 16.3 points on 42.4% shooting, 34.6% from three, 79.1% from the free throw line, 4.2 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and 1.1 steals per game across 41 starts. Those counting stats look passable, but visual evaluation reveals decision-making and basketball IQ issues, especially given his role as the Raptors' lead guard. The contract situation remains undesirable and a recurring concern. Quickley shows clear offensive strengths as a polished shooting weapon, effective in pick-and-rolls and floaters when in rhythm, yet late-game hero-ball tendencies can hurt the team in close contests.
