Immanuel Quickley is a shooter. He’s a lights-out shooter. He’s the type of shooter that you would trust with your life (well, almost). He’s an excellent scorer from range, and honestly, there’s not much else to like about his game.

There are a few things that come to mind when watching Quickley. First, he’s a really small two-guard. At just 6-foot-3, 190 pounds, he’s locked into the shooting guard spot. His facilitation is somewhat limited for a guard (although this may just be due to playing next to Hagans and Maxey at Kentucky), but Quickley has a defined role at the next level.

Though he is somewhat smaller, if Quickley’s shooting translates to the NBA, he will at least be able to find a small bench role for a team in the NBA.

The big question with Quickley is whether his frame will hold up against NBA-level athletes. He also can lose his man at times and hesitates to score on offense.

He is one of many options (and the Timberwolves may even elect to pick a guard with either of their first two picks), but Quickley’s shooting is hard to pass on. It alone gives him a lot higher of a floor than most prospects — and that is typically what you want from second-round players — a high floor.
