Going to be plenty of instances this year in which the combination of frame and footwork for Derik Queen can allow him to overpower opponents. Great feel and patience.

If you're needing a clip to sell yourself on the defensive potential for Derik Queen...
well, here you go.

One of my favorite Derik Queen clips so far this season. How many freshman bigs at his size do you see pulling this off?
Marquette rotates well on this and honestly, Queen NOT throwing this to the middle of the lane is a HECK of an adjustment. Great dime off drive and kick

There's been plenty to get excited about when it comes to Derik Queen offensively to start the year. But just wait till the playmaking starts to be unleashed.
Queen had some ridiculous film in high school with his playmaking. Great anticipation and feel here by Queen.

Love this sequence for Derik Queen, right after his big "fadeway." Good job recognizing the BLOB and staying patient. Comes down, feed the big fella again.
Gathers self, analyze defense, great display of short-window quickness and touch for this little baby hook.

Love these next couple of plays for Derik Queen. Starting to get in a groove here and you can see him communicating early on to clear out this post op.
Not just a bruiser inside, Queen has some versatility offensively that is just scratching the surface.

If you often see a big man is listed at 6'10", 245 pounds...you wouldn't be expecting movement and fluidity like this.
Derik Queen has the footwork, quickness and feel to be dangerous even without "elite" vertical pop. Great attack off the catch and finish with power.

Love the early flashes I've seen from Arkansas Razorbacks freshman guard Boogie Fland
20 points, 3 assists and 4 steals in most recent outing while shooting 6/10 from the field
+ continues to show some good defensive chops, averaging 2.3 steals per game on the year.

Awesome showing last night from Baylor Bears freshman guard VJ Edgecombe #NBADraft
Finished with 13 PTS, 10 REB, 7 AST & 3 STL on 6/9 FG.
Versatile talent who has tools to be a dynamic two-way weapon.
Upcoming showdowns with St John's (11/21) & UConn (12/4) 👀

Plenty of impressive flashes tonight from Duke Blue Devils freshman forward Cooper Flagg #NBADraft
Finished with 26 PTS, 12 REB & 2 BLK on 9/19 FG.
Rough end of the game with pair of turnovers, but outstanding display overall for the 17-year-old.

Limited sample but like what i've seen early on from Illinois freshman guard Kasparas Jakucionis #NBADraft
+ Vision & floor awareness don't take long to impress
+ Makes opponents play to his speed
+ Smooth operator who creates good looks for teammates
