Derik Queen, Maryland's freshman center, has emerged as a potential first-round NBA pick, showcasing notable strengths in rebounding, passing, and finishing around the rim despite perimeter shooting concerns.
Queen's hands and rebounding ability are outstanding, as he is not only able to catch everything thrown his way but also shows an elite feel for the game that's rare for a freshman.
While Queen's current shooting percentages are below par, his development as a free-throw shooter suggests a promising trajectory for improving his range beyond the arc.
The key to Queen's draft position will depend on NBA teams' evaluations of his strengths and weaknesses, particularly in terms of his potential to space the floor and protect the rim.
