The Knicks’ guard spent another offseason with Reese Whitely, the Miami-based trainer who established three goals for Quickley’s body: avoid injuries, add weight, increase power.
“He came in this summer and wanted to make sure he was injury-proof, in essence, so we worked on a lot of correctives at the beginning of the summer,” Whitely told The Post. “From there, we transitioned to a lot of strength movements. He wanted to put on some size, wanted to gain about 10 pounds, and he achieved that.
It sounds like an overly ambitious to-do list for one summer but Quickley, according to Whitely, was committed to the results.The guard trained five days per week over about four months, providing himself an elevated physical baseline after finishing runner-up for Sixth Man of the Year. Last offseason’s work with Whitely — which also produced a 10-pound gain to the 195 range — helped Quickley absorb contact and take giant leaps in efficiency.“I think my training worked last season. He was back again this summer too — so that speaks for itself,” Whitely said. “I know you have a bunch of options and you have to find the ones that works for you.
