"The formula for Immanuel Quickley to be great is certainly there. I think when he's fully engaged, it shows in how quickly he can catch fire offensively, and he is widely heralded for that explosive potential. However, with a streaky playing pattern and a high price tag, these factors have largely contributed to a negative perception of Quickley's current reputation with the Raptors."
"Last year, of course, the talk was about IQ's frequent time on the injured reserve, as he only played in 33 games for the Raptors. This was the opposite of what Toronto expected after he signed a five-year, $175 million extension in July 2024. But when he came back toward the end of the year, I had this lingering belief that if he had been around when it mattered most, Quickley's clutch shooting and three-point spark could have elevated the team's ceiling."
Immanuel Quickley shows clear offensive explosiveness but remains too streaky and inconsistent to be considered a definitive starting point guard. Significant missed time due to injuries limited him to 33 games last season despite a five-year, $175 million extension. Through 33 appearances in 2025-26, he averages 16.1 points, 6.4 assists, 4.3 rebounds, 43.6% FG, 35.9% 3PT, and 81.4% FT in 32.2 minutes per game. The Raptors continue to rely on him, but availability, consistency, and role fit will determine his value to the team's ceiling.
