OG Anunoby was the most coveted player to move last season, a giant wing who could shoot, rebound and defend as well as anyone in the league. That type of player fits on any team and every contender in the league would have loved to trade him.
Who made the Toronto Raptors Who ultimately traded him? Immanuel Quickley, a point guard stuck behind Jalen Brunson but who has proven himself every time he’s been given significant minutes. The Raptors took a gamble that Quickley would become a star with his own backline to manage, and followed that bet with a lucrative five-year, $162.5 million contract.
Was this contract too expensive, as some NBA analysts believe? Or was it a bargain for a future All-Star at a price below the maximum? To answer that question, it’s important to understand where Quickley stands relative to his peers. Where does he stand relative to other point guards in the league?
To do this, we went through the league’s point guards and separated them into categories, then within each category, ranked each player to come up with a final ranking. We’ll go through the Top 30 to show why each player landed where they did, and in doing so, see how Immanuel Quickley stacks up against his peers.
We start with Tier 7, those point guards who could be starters, but it would be worth finding a better option as soon as possible.
