Derik Queen flashed his defensive potential in Wednesday's matchup against the Bulls, stuffing the stat sheet with nine points (4-of-7 FGs), seven rebounds, four assists, two steals, and five blocks.
Fantasy Impact:
While questions surrounded his defensive translation to the NBA level as a rookie, Queen silenced doubters in this one by recording career highs in both blocks (5) and total "stocks" (7). Although his scoring output was modest compared to what he has shown earlier in the season, his ability to contribute across every other category—particularly on the defensive end—makes him an intriguing fantasy prospect.
