Quickley reminds me of
- Thread starter Wildcats1st

He reminds me of Brandon Knight. That’s high praise.
If Brandon Knight and Doron Lamb had a baby, it would be IQ
This is what I've always thought as well. Now, DA?! Sorry, I don't see it. I think some forget just how great DA was here.
Can see the Knight/Lamb combo for sure, but I'm with ya....no way on D.A.
Anderson was uber athletic and could dunk on about anyone at any time.
Those dunks pre ACL his senior year vs. Louisville and Indiana...wow.
I don't see IQ doing this...

Knight and lamb couldn’t handle the ball as good as quickley
DA more explosive towards the rim and better athlete.
Someone made the perfect comparison on here the other day. Hersey Hawkins.
I’m not sure you remember Derek Anderson
I think he plays a lot like Immanuel Quickley.
Been telling anyone that would listen "do not under estimate this kid". Much stronger and better shooter this year.
No I remember DA pretty clearly. Just watched 1996 game yesterday. Saw IQ tonight an said “damn”. Like I said DA was a bit taller but I see a similar a player
Anderson was the best player in the country his senior year before he was injured.
I would have gone with Allen Edwards. Similar size and game. Quickly is a little more of a scorer but they are both do everything wing players. Quickly, Hagans and Maxey are the only sure fire starters. More than likely EJ is in the lineup but the first 3 are pretty much the 3 best players on the team. They start absolutely.
Yep.. Can't see any comparison to Derek.. IQ is not near as explosive around the rim.. DA was an elite SF at that time.. Had he been healthy in 97 we'd already have 9 Natty's
Yes. Best player in 1997 is really saying something. College ball was very strong back then. I'm sorry but IQ just isn't on DA's level. Dude was a stone cold killer here!
Edit: Clarke, that's coming next year, reminds me of DA quite a bit, though, actually.

I don’t see Cal starting 3 guys under 6’4, but I don’t disagree that those 3 along with Sestina looked the best.
I don’t see it at all. Don’t get me wrong, I like Quickley but he ain’t doing this on anybody this year.

IQ has made tremendous progress. Many others could have done the same by staying a second year.
Doesn't remind me of anyone in particular. Maybe a little bit of Truman Claytor in him.

I don't see how their games are similar at all lol. Quickley reminds me more of Brandon Knight (and Knight was awesome and not a bad player to be compared too) as said by some above. Not seeing the Anderson comparison at all.
Reminds me of Devonte Graham from KU just a couple years ago.
Not a bad comparison. Definitely better than Derek Anderson.
Not seeing this comparison at all. Not the same position, not the same skill set, not the same size, not much at all that seems the same to me.
DA played the small forward spot, and the main thing that jumps out to me when I remember his game was his extraordinary athleticism and explosiveness, IQ is a combo guard, smaller, far more perimeter oriented and has never shown anything near DA's level of athleticism.
Folks here come up with some odd comparisons.
Hard to tell right now, but I'd place him more in the category of combo guard guys like A.J. Guyton than that of a high flying swingman like Derek Anderson.
