The New York Knicks are somewhere in the middle of the Eastern Conference standings right now. With an 8-6 overall record, the Knicks are currently the sixth seed in the East and the third-best team in the Atlantic division. But who is the Knicks’ unsung hero that has gone under the radar so far this season?

The team is led by Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle when it comes to the team?s offense. But even RJ Barrett has been turning things up. And what’s more, six-time All-Star Kyle Lowry had massive praise for this 24-year-old star.?

Who is the new hero in New York?

The New York Knicks are one of the more exciting teams to watch so far this season. Though the team has yet to string along a couple of winning games, the roster sure puts up a fight every time they hit the floor.

The Knicks recently took care of business when they faced off against the Miami Heat. Handing them a close 100-98 loss, six-time All-Star Kyle Lowry?gave flowers to Knicks guard, Immanuel Quickley.

After the game, Lowry said, ?Actually, Immanuel Quickley came in and really changed the game. I don?t know how much he had in the third and the fourth quarter but he really changed the game; his aggressiveness and his assertiveness.?

Immanuel Quickley was a big help for the Knicks in the win over the Miami Heat. He played crucial minutes off the bench. But it was his scoring that helped the team the most in the third and fourth quarters.

Quickley played a total of 26 minutes off the bench and scored 20 points to help the Knicks? starters, who seemed to have an off-night against the Heat.

A rising star among the New York Knicks roster?

Now in his fourth season in the league with the Knicks, Immanuel Quickley is turning into quite the threat for opposing teams. He is usually brought off the bench by the Knicks head coach and provides a much-needed spark for the team.

The 6?2 guard is incredibly fast and agile, which not only helps him on offense but on defense as well. His relentlessness on defense usually helps in steals and deflections which in turn lead to fastbreak points.

Quickley has been averaging 15.7 PPG, 3.5 RPG, and 3.3 APG on a 57.9 true shooting percentage. If these numbers continue to grow, it won?t be long before fans get to see Quickley moved to the starting lineup of the Knicks squad.
