Immanuel Quickley is coming off an impressive two-game stretch.
He has played some solid basketball in the Raptors back-to-back wins over the Milwaukee Bucks and Washington Wizards.
Quickley had 25 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists on April 5 as he helped the Raptors beat the Bucks to snap their 15-game losing streak.
He then followed that up with 31 points, 13 assists and 7 rebounds in a win against the Wizards on April 7:
In his last two games Quickley has also done a great job of getting to the free throw line. He was 14-15 from the line against the Bucks and a perfect 10-10 from the charity stripe against the Wizards.
Quickley was asked about his double-digit free throw attempts and the approach he is taking to getting to the line more via TSN’s Josh Lewenberg:
“Me and Pat Delany are just watching stuff because the rules have changed a little bit. Not as much free throws so seeing what other calls guys are getting and seeing where you can be effective in that way and just continue to watch stuff….getting to the line is one of my strengths I feel like, so just trying to build on that.”
Quickley has missed some time recently due to personal reasons so he is trying to get back into rhythm and finish the season strong.
The guard was also asked about his recent standout performances and how he is feeling via The Toronto Star’s Doug Smith:
“Really all the guys have been great, the energy in practice has been unbelievable. Not even on the court but off the court. I feel like we’re gelling. I was playing Call of Duty with Scottie [Barnes] before the game today, so chemistry is building, vibes is building and that’s what we try to be about.”
Next up for Raptors
The Raptors will look to make it 3 wins in a row when they take on Pascal Siakam and the Indiana Pacers on April 9.
