随着赛季的结束，纽约尼克斯队并没有为任何目标而战。在被淘汰出季后赛后，最有用的事情就是让年轻球员发光。伊曼纽尔·奎克利利用这个机会完成了一项罕见的壮举。
Quickley点燃了奥兰多魔术队的战火，取得了20分、10个篮板和10次助攻，同时带领纽约队取得了一场巨大的胜利。他的三双是他职业生涯的第一次，也是自1991年马克·杰克逊完成这一壮举以来尼克斯队的第一次三双。

在全明星赛后开始提高产量之前，Quickley在尼克斯度过了一个艰难的第二个赛季。在此后的20场比赛中，他场均15.2分、5.1个篮板和4.2次助攻，在26.4分钟内投篮命中率分别为44.0%和39.2%。他的投篮和进攻能力使他成为替补席上的一员，这在他在尼克斯队的新秀赛季证明了这一点。
纽约队一直让这位年轻的控球后卫坐在板凳上，迫使他扮演一个通常无法尽其所能影响比赛的角色。尽管如此，无论他什么时候上场，这对尼克斯队来说都是个好兆头。他的自信，加上他与二年级球员欧比·托平的化学反应，使他能够随心所欲地接管比赛。
尽管主教练汤姆·蒂博多（Tom Thibodeau）不太可能首发Quickley，坚称他更适合自己的角色，但他的天赋需要上场时间。

Immanuel Quickley accomplishes feat not seen from Knicks in 30 years
原文：
The New York Knicks aren’t playing for anything as their season winds down. After being mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, the most useful thing is to let the young players shine. Immanuel Quickley took advantage of the opportunity and accomplished a rare feat.
Quickley lit up the Orlando Magic, recording 20 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists while leading New York to a huge win. His triple-double is the first of his career and is the first triple-double from a Knick since 1991 when Mark Jackson accomplished the feat.

Quickley had enjoyed a rough second season for the Knicks before starting to ramp up his production after the All-Star break. In 20 games since then, he is averaging 15.2 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.2 assists while shooting 44.0 percent from the field and 39.2 percent from deep in 26.4 minutes per game. His shooting and playmaking make him a valuable piece off the bench, proving so during his rookie season on a Knicks team that made the playoffs.
New York has constantly made the young point guard come off the bench, forcing him into a role where he often can’t impact the games as much as he could. Still, whenever he gets going, it’s a great sign for the Knicks. His confidence, along with his chemistry with fellow second-year player Obi Toppin, has allowed him to take over games at will.
Although head coach Tom Thibodeau isn’t likely to start Quickley, insisting that he is better suited for the role he has, his talents demand playing time.
