Quinn is a shifty combo guard with some of the sickest handles ever. As a three-point sniper with unlimited range and a beautiful release, Quinn sets defenders up for the crafty ability to attack off the bounce with blowby speed and a devastating first step. But Quinn is surprisingly strong, and physical contact never knocks him off his game, which is a weapon when, with fierce aggression, he attacks that lane with purpose and a bag full of creative finishes in the mid-range or fierce finishes at the rim. Quinn also doesn't mind mixing it up on the boards and is a rock-solid defender. Because Quinn is such a dangerous scorer, he draws a ton of attention, which allows him to drop a few dimes to open or cutting teammates, knowing the defense has to make adjustments to contain him.
This past season, Quinn averaged 18.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 2.7 assists while shooting 34% from three, which earned him 2nd Team All Mississippi Valley Conference. The most motivating thing that happened last season that will push Quinn moving forward was their high school team did not have a very successful season only winning 5 games and what motivates him is to work harder and push himself so they can be more successful by winning more games.
Playing AAU for the Wisconsin Playmakers Quinn focused on getting stronger, quicker, and working on being even more dominating at attacking the rim. Quinn's goal for the next AAU session is as the Playmakers transition to the Prelude 32 New Balance Circuit is to prove they are one of the best teams out there.
What fuels Quinn's fire when he is on that court is when he makes his first shot or when his team gets off to a fast start really gets him going.
Quinn handles adversity when things don't go his way by trying to stay positive and bring energy to his team any way he can to still have an impact on the game.
What sets Quinn apart from others is his high IQ of the game and knowing when to make the right decisions.
Quinn is pushing himself to the goal of playing D1 on the next level but could see himself playing any level if it helps him continue to play this game he loves.
I assess that Quinn is going to continue the legacy of awesome guards out of WI with his prolific scoring ability and aggressive playstyle. Quinn is an impactful young star on the rise and it's easy to see his work ethic is already at a high level. Quinns potential is limitless and his competitive edge will only push him harder to excel . Get this stud on your big boards cause this train is just taking off. Stay tuned!
