Quickley was defending Jamal Murray in the final seconds, didn\u2019t go for any of his ball fakes and forced him into an airball as time expired.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think really just trying to make the [player you\u2019re guarding] take a tough shot \u2014 sometimes, you go against great players and they make; sometimes, you go against them and they miss it,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s why you wanna do it, try to make it as tough as possible each and every time they take a shot or they try to make a play. That\u2019s really pretty much all you can do, and right now it\u2019s working.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The biggest change in Quickley\u2019s game is in rebounding. He is grabbing 4.8 boards per game, well up from the 3.2 he averaged a year ago. He has been particularly effective in helping the Knicks\u2019 big men on the defensive glass and starting the break, a major strength of the team.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Some of that he attributed to putting on more muscle in the offseason. He\u2019s up roughly eight pounds. He also credited it to a habit he picked up while at Kentucky: Visualization.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore the game, I imagine myself scoring points and making plays. I imagine myself rebounding,\u201d Quickley said. \u201cI do stuff like that, visualization. And then when the game comes, it\u2019s nothing but my imagination just taking [over during] the course of the game.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Quickley\u2019s future with the Knicks is uncertain. His name was included in trade rumors during the summer and there have been recent reports that the Knicks have discussed moving him for future draft pick compensation. Asked about those rumors, Quickley said his focus was on continuing this winning trip, in which he has had a major hand. He scored 13 points in a win over the Jazz and had six assists and five rebounds against the Nuggets.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhatever the team asks me to do I try to go out there and do to help the team win,\u201d Quickley said. \u201cDefending, one night it might be my night to go get 25, another night it might be to guard the best player.\u201d\u00a0\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.
