Derik Queen

The New Orleans Pelicans rookie center has quickly established himself as a versatile playmaker who can facilitate from anywhere on the court. In a heated NBA Cup group play battle against Dallas, Queen showcases not just immense court vision but immense self-confidence as he threads a perfect behind-the back pass to Trey Murphy III in transition, who converts the running dunk to keep pace in what would become a physical matchup. The 20-year-old finished with a career-high 11 assists alongside 20 points and seven rebounds.
