Anytime you get the first one to go through, it\u2019s a good feeling and I\u2019m ready to let fly.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Knicks summer league coach Dice Yoshimoto was impressed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou see his skill set. He\u2019s a very skilled player,\u2019\u2019 Yoshimoto said. \u201cHe\u2019s going to do well. His future is bright.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The Knicks got a fine outing from their 2021 first-round pick, Grimes, who heated up in the second half to score his summer league high of 15 points. Grimes went 6-for-10 from the field and 3-for-6 from 3-point range.<\/p>\n<p>Toppin, the Knicks\u2019 2020 lottery pick, continued putting up big numbers, dumping in 31 points on 13-for-20 shooting with nine rebounds, three steals and two blocks.<\/p>\n<p>But the Knicks\u2019 other 2020 first-rounder, Immanuel Quickley, being used in an experiment as the starting point guard, reverted to his summer league opener ways and couldn\u2019t get many shots to go down.<\/p>\n<p>Quickley finished 4-for-18 from the field and had a last-second layup attempt blocked from behind by Cunningham. Quickley had nine assists, but also three turnovers and seven fouls.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Like Quickley a year earlier, Grimes was selected 25th in this year\u2019s draft.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI started to be more aggressive,\u201d said Grimes, who didn\u2019t reach double figures in his first three games. \u201cI\u2019m starting to feel more comfortable out there with the team and the new guys. Just feeling more comfortable.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Grimes had been relatively quiet, though he doesn\u2019t get a lot of passes from Quickley.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI told Quentin to be Quentin,\u2019\u2019 Yoshimoto said. \u201cIf he\u2019s open, shoot it and not move it. Don\u2019t overthink. Just shoot and let it fly. He showed it today and made shots.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>While Argentine point guard Luca Vildoza sat out another game with a sore foot, Lithuanian rookie combo guard Rokas Jokubaitis looked very good off the bench. He was a team-high plus 13, going 3-for-5 from the field for seven points. He outraced the Detroit defense for one lovely lefty fast-break layup and threw a fast-break lob to Toppin for a dunk.<\/p>\n<p>After Vildoza\u2019s dis<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ointing summer, it\u2019s unclear if Jokubaitis, selected 34th overall, will join the Knicks at training camp. He is slated to play his first season in Barcelona.<\/p>\n<p>The Knicks\u2019 second-round pick, center Jericho Sims out of Texas, who has looked good on both sides of the ball, sat out the game for \u201crest,\u201d but will play Saturday versus the Cavaliers.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
