Derik Queen Showcases Versatile Playmaking & Driving Skills

Derik Queen, ranked No. 5 among rookies, has showcased unique versatility for the Pelicans under interim coach James Borrego. He excels as a passer from the top of the key and can physically attack 1v1, driving with good footwork to spin and finish. While his offensive game is strong, an area for improvement lies on the defensive end, where he needs to work early to avoid fouling.
