No Quick’ decision on starting rookie PG

Knicks rookie point guard Immanuel Quickley was so good again Friday, it prompted questions of whether coach Tom Thibodeau will consider making him the starter over Elfrid Payton.

Quickley closed the game, a 106-103 loss at Cleveland, and there’s a notion he might as well start at this stage after piling up 23 points in 27 minutes with three assists. He was a plus-11 while Payton finished a minus-14. Quickley now has reeled off two solid outings after a four-game slump He finished with 19 points in Wednesday’s loss to the Nets.

Thibodeau was noncommittal.

“It’s a function of the group’s playing well together,’’ Thibodeau said after the Knicks’ fifth straight loss. “So we need everybody. We’re working guys back that were out so we’re not into a rhythm yet. We’re still evaluating. So we’ll keep evaluating, we’ll keep working to improve and then we’ll find the best combinations to go forward with. But we’re constantly evaluating and talking about who plays well with whom. And if something can help the team, we’ll do it.’’

Thibodeau added “everything is on the table.’’

The former Kentucky star was spectacular coming off the bench, exploding for 12 points in 11 minutes with two assists in the first half. Quickley shot 5-for-8 from the field by intermission. He cooled off a bit in the second half, but finished 3 of 7 from 3-point land.

Rookie Obi Toppin , in his second game back, played just 10 minutes with two points, but no field goals. With Mitchell Robinson hobbled after landing awkwardly following a missed dunk, Thibodeau would have played Taj Gibson for the first time, but Nerlens Noel (six blocks) was rolling defensively.
