Derik Queen News, Rumors, Updates - New Orleans Pelicans

Delivers monster triple-double Queen produced 33 points (11-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 11-13 FT), 10 rebounds, 10 assists and four blocks in 33 minutes during Monday's 135-132 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Queen put together the best all-around showing of his NBA career and became the youngest player in franchise history to record a 25-point triple-double, per Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com. He set season highs in points and blocks, but it wasn't enough to steal a victory. The Maryland product is still working out a way to deliver with consistency through his first 25 games in the NBA, though he's certainly shown promising flashes.

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.

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.
