"I'm very excited. Any time you get a chance to go back to the drawing board and look to where you can be better - obviously I missed a lot of games with injuries - but anytime you can go back and just work from the foundation and see where you can improve - I'm always excited for that part of basketball."
"I think everyone notices that IQ is in the best shape here. Out of everybody. He looks ready to go, and I think he's itching to go. You know he averages, what, 17 and 9, almost 10 or something like that. And he was playing with half his team the entire time that he was playing. So, I think just getting to see the best version of him with the best version of our starting five, it's gonna be really fun."
Immanuel Quickley arrived at training camp focused on improving after missing games due to injuries and emphasized returning to fundamentals. Teammates praised his offseason work and conditioning, with RJ Barrett expressing confidence in Quickley's health and readiness and Jamal Shead calling him the best-conditioned player on the roster. Shead highlighted Quickley's scoring and playmaking contributions and the excitement about seeing him play alongside the starting five. Quickley averaged 17.1 points, 5.8 assists, and 3.5 rebounds last season with a 57 percent true-shooting percentage across 33 games. The Raptors are 24-47 across two seasons with Quickley in the lineup.
