Derik Queen News, Rumors, Updates - New Orleans Pelicans

Derik Queen problem the Pelicans immediately face if he's the building block The New Orleans Pelicans’ future with Derik Queen at the helm seems extremely bright, but there is one major flaw that might doom them.

Limited to 17 minutes Queen contributed eight points (4-9 FG), five rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 17 minutes during Monday's 143-130 win over Chicago.

Impact Queen has been generating a lot of positive headlines in New Orleans as a bright spot in an otherwise tough season. He was sent packing to the bench for the start of the second half, however, with the Pelicans rolling with Yves Missi. Unless this becomes a trend, Queen's fantasy managers can treat this game as an outlier with the Pelicans likely trying to better match up with Chicago's small-ball lineups.

Fills stat sheet once again Queen racked up 20 points (6-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-8 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 32 minutes during Saturday's 115-98 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Queen was coming off a 20-point, seven-rebound, 11-assist performance Friday against the Mavericks, and he delivered an impressive stat line on the second leg of a back-to-back set. The rookie big man has been one of the best first-year players this season, but he seems to have taken his game to another level of late. In his last three starts, Queen is averaging 23.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game while shooting 53 percent from the floor.

Scores 20 points with 11 dimes Queen popped off for 20 points (8-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, 11 assists, one steal and four turnovers in 32 minutes during Friday's 118-115 loss to the Mavs.

Impact Queen did an excellent job of running the offense in this one, racking up seven dimes in his first seven minutes of play, and the seven-assist first quarter accounted for the most assists by any rookie in a quarter this season. He also joined Darren Collison, Chris Paul and Nickeil Alexander-Walker as the only other rookies in New Orleans' franchise history to record at least seven assists in a single quarter. Make sure Queen isn't floating around on your waiver wire.
