Yeah, completely counterintuitive from the narrative, but the sample size is small, he is going get worked by the more nimble Centers/PF until grows into his body, the Joker is not the best defender either.
I said it then. I will say it now. He has unicorn skills. They have no one besides Sarr and Bagley up front. Just think of Queen lob passes to Sarr and Queen blocking shots alongside Sarr.
Two ball-handling bigs would be pretty formidable.

TBH, by the day of the draft, I had been overwhelmed by the negativity associated with Derik's pre draft physicals. He was dead last and a year older. Most were saying he would be a backup or a bust. So, I, too, was cautious.closg00 wrote:CCJ, I was too cautious about DQ, too afraid to take him at 6, even though I was confident he would be good. I wish we had drafted him now.

CCJ and I were talking about Queen for months. Where do you think Derik Queen pockets fatter than Dairy Queen turns the low post to a scary scene came from bruh

Pretty sure Jokic isn't a rookie. I am also sure that Queen isnt going to be the greatest offensive center in league history.
