Tantalized by Derik Queen's driving x passing combo, think he has underrated true initiator upside. Has only turned it over once over 26 drives, displaying elite ball control. Queen has shown an ability to move help with his deception.

we’ll see where these numbers end up for Derik but extremely efficient so far

that’s share of possessions that end in FTs not shooting %s

People see what they want to see but id be surprised if he doesn't eat sleep and breath Jokic teach tape. He brings much joy.

check out the aau tape, he'd run like PG basically for thrill sometimes. esp in early days, like pre montverde, they'd let him take OTD 3s and shit. MVA turned him and Asa in to pure bigs

Been able to do it against good comp too

1 TO in 26 drives is insane especially for a big!

What do you think about him on defense? Also how would you predict his ultimate offensive role?

I think the defense is a positive overall, his sense of positioning is really strong and he has great hands, plus wingspan. unsure on ideal offensive role at this point, really depends on where the shooting settles but he will thrive in the short roll, can operate DHOs/out of post. he’s so good at stampedes which will compensate for spacing issues some
