Projected second-round pick Immanuel Quickley has reportedly met twice with the New York Knicks, Detroit Pistons and Oklahoma City Thunder ahead of the 2020 NBA Draft, according to Adam Zagoria of Forbes.
Quickley was named the SEC Player of the Year after averaging 16.1 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 30 games last season at Kentucky while he shot 42.8% from 3-point range. His 92.3 free-throw percentage ranked sixth-best among all underclassmen in the country.

The 21-year-old has also met with several other teams, including the Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat, Milwaukee Bucks and Brooklyn Nets among others. For a player like Quickley, who is projected to be a second-round pick, it is not uncommon to meet with several teams.
Quickly struggled during his freshman campaign, averaging just 5.2 points in 37 games, but bounced back in a big way during the 2019-20 season. He projects to be a viable 3-and-D option at the next level and appears poised to hear his name called on Nov. 18.
