Scouting report

Backcourt analysis

Rated 76, Derik Queen is a rotation-level center in Backcourt whose value depends heavily on being used in the right role.

The game suggests the Rim protector role for him — a player who anchors the defense, blocks shots and controls the defensive boards. With defense (74), rebounding (80) and inside scoring (78), it rates the fit as “Workable”: sound rather than special.

For a center, his standout attributes are speed (65) and passing (71), in the top 11% and 16% of centers respectively.

He can hold a starting or sixth-man workload of 24 to 30 minutes.

At 21 with a potential of 89, he is one of the clearest long-term projects in the pool — sustained minutes can take him well beyond his current 76.

He earns $10.6M a season with a transfer value of $37.5M — fairly priced for his rating.
