Tom Thibodeau is not surprised that Immanuel Quickley has remained focused on basketball with his deadline to sign a contract extension looming on Monday.
Knicks star feels better heading into this season than he did last yeardeadline to sign a contract extension looming on Monday. “I think the thing that I like about Quick is he’s had the same chip since we’ve had him. He had the chip at Kentucky. When you study his makeup, that’s who he is,” Thibodeau said after practice Saturday in Tarrytown. “He knows he’s a good player. He’s a gym rat. Works on the game. Can really think on his feet.
The Knicks were able to come to terms with RJ Barrett on a four-year extension worth $107 million before training camp one year ago. “That speaks to Quick’s character,” said Brunson, who signed a four-year deal worth $104 million with the Knicks as a free agent last summer. “I think RJ got his done at a different time, so I don’t want to compare the situations. But Quick has been coming in every day to do his job.
