LAS VEGAS — Immanuel Quickley can’t wait to learn from Bronx point guard Kemba Walker.
Quickley said he’s been talking to different point guards around the NBA to get their feel of the game. And now he’ll have a four-time All-Star in his locker room — even if the 31-year-old Walker is aging and potentially unable to play a full 82-game season because of an arthritic left knee.
“Offseason moves were great,’’ Quickley said after starting at point guard Monday and dropping 32 points and eight assists with only one turnover in a summer league victory over Indiana. “We added a guy, Kemba Walker, who can do it all, somebody I can learn from, compete with to expand my game. I want to be where he is eventually one day. So no better guy than Kemba Walker to come in — just like I learned from Derrick Rose, I can learn from somebody else. And Evan Fournier, competitor, shooter — so we added shooting and defense. I think we made great moves this offseason.’’
The Knicks have not announced the Walker signing. A report surfaced that Walker’s buyout with Oklahoma City saw him give up roughly $20.5 million of the $74 million left on his contract to agree to terms with the Knicks.
