One of the most underrated prospects. Center with some guard skills, great touch, and knows how to use his body. Not overly athletic or stretches the floor but is probably the best freshman center in college basketball. Shades of Wendell Carter Jr.

derik queen has fallen off for me a little bit.

while i think he has a lot of potential and has found his mold, he's still fairly raw and his lack of a motor and efforts have really brought him down for me, as well as him just not really developing those skills he has yet.

it's important to remember queen is probably the oldest freshman in this class, and him still being somewhat raw is not what you want to see from a nearly 20-year-old, but he hasn't done enough for me to just tank him down, yet...

Queen is long and athletic and rebounds well. He is a fantastic passer. Smooth mover who is nimble in the post. His defense is solid and he is a good shot-blocker. Doesn't stretch the floor well yet. Definitely has high, high upside.

NBA Comp: Shades of Daniel Gafford

High ceiling (offensively). Not mobile enough (or athletic) for defense but crafty on offense. Big range of outcome. Has a great touch so the projection on the shoot is good. He's one of my favourites.

NBA comparison : Paul Millsap/Julius Randle

High End: Less Explosive Boogie Cousins Low End: better Greg Monroe Median outcome: non-All Star Vucevic Pros: Post-scoring, playmaking, passable defense Cons: Undersized and just an OK athlete ("gut" doesn't really help), shot is yet to fall in (positive signs from FTs and form) Verdict: Saw someone say UCLA Kevon Looney and it's an intriguing comparison, seems more likely than the high end outcomes of Jokic that are being thrown around. It is still possible to see him succeeding in the NBA if the shot eventually falls because the form is good, if not worrying since it might be harder to translate post-scoring against better paint defenders in a league that shuns post offense.
