Why? From three days ago:

I think Queen could have complemented Sarr well. I recall most here said DQ would struggle defensively. Not so. His strength has been the Wizards' greatest area of need.
I felt like trolling. Is Johnson the better pick?
I still think so.
Queen hasn't really been playing THAT well despite all of your posts here. We're talking about a center with a TS% of .525. He has outplayed Johnson, but not really as much as you think. Here are their numbers on a per 100 possession basis.

They are scoring about the same, though Tre is more efficient with a better TS% and fewer turnovers. Queen is obviously rebounding quite a bit better and his stocks are good, but he is also fouling everyone in sight. Overall, BPM and PER say he is out playing Johnson, but we can't forget that Queen is 16 months older than Tre. We should be comparing Tre's second year to Queen's rookie year.
