Neemias Queta

When a seven-footer moves with guard fluidity, defenses scramble to recover - and Neemias Queta makes them pay. Midway through the second quarter at TD Garden, Queta strips the ball from the defender and gets the rock to Derrick White. White surveys the floor and threads a perfect bounce pass to the Portuguese big man slashing hard to the basket, who rises up through contact to throw down a cutting dunk that sends the home crowd into a frenzy. The bucket pushed Boston's lead to 34-30 en route to a dominant 114-98 victory over Philadelphia on March 1, 2026, where Queta posted a career-high 27 points on 10-of-14 shooting while controlling the paint with 17 rebounds and 3 blocks.
