In the last 12 games, Quickley has scored 17.8 points on 51.3 percent shooting from the field and 42.9 percent from three-point range. Interestingly, he started only in two of those games, helping the Knicks to a 10-2 record.

Compared to last year’s Sixth Man of the Year winner Tyler Herro (43.7 FG% and 37.2 3pt%), Quickley has similar stats. However, Herro was the better all-around player with 20.2 PPG, 5.8 RPG, and 4.3 APG. Despite this, Quickley has been sensational this season bringing a noticeable spark off the bench for his Knicks team that is 11 games over .500.

However, but his stats have gone down in the second half of the season. In the past 13 games, Brogdon has averaged 14.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game.
