It's lonely up in here

people waiting for Duke and Maryland to play, maybe.

McNeese State (I couldn't even point to a state on a map it identify its location) over Clemson was a shocker. McNeese brand of defense is interesting - zone, then switch to man, then different zone... keeps the opponent off balance. They dont have size, but they still managed to capilatize on matchups. That was a fun game.

I’m waiting on Robert Morris vs Alabama. To see if my Deni replacement Alvaro Folgueiras can rise to the occasion.

Maryland off to a bad start, missing every shot and turning it over

Reese putting in work on the block and calming things down, they are doubling Queen

[WallToWall]

Y’all gonna hate me, but I don’t think Derik Queen is a top 10 pick. He doesn’t have a good shot selection, can’t run the court well, and his positioning is off. Yeah, he’s big, but he isn’t using his size as well as he should…even for a freshman. He’s a 11-20 range pick.

[AFM]

Correct, he is a top 5 pick.

I get worried every time I see him play, he's kind of a bowling ball out-there, he does very well against smaller defenders, and disappears against men of size....but he could become a Kendrick Perkins, definitely has tons of upside.

Queen has way more offensive game than Perkins ever did. Perkins had zero touch and footwork. Big Al Jefferson is the best comp for Queen.

You’re right, I was thinking of what his body-type may be like as a grown man, but Queen does have skills and upside, he has good touch shooting from what I have seen which will make him versatile.

YES!

I forgot Al Jefferson. That's who he moves like on offense. Queen passes better.

He'll be a liability on defense, but he's a bucket who will win his matchup.

Top-5.

Kid doesn't even have grown man strength yet.

He's a bowling ball with nifty feet. He doesn't charge that often. In the NBA, how are they going to defend him when he can beat teams with his passing and off the dribble?

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

Maluach is massive and mobile. He's a lob threat but not as quick as Gafford.

[AFM]

Reminder: Derik Queen turns the low post to a scary scene plus he fatter than Dairy Queen at 7:10 PM

[closg00]

Terps starting out very sloppy again, come on guys, time to start feeding Reese again in the post.
