Ignore his worst category (threes) and he's worth -0.09.
Our favorite sleeper in this tier. A point-center who logged 81 games as a rookie and stuffed the sheet — points, boards, a genuine assist rate for a big, plus steals and blocks — with a rebuild handing him the keys. Risks are efficiency, turnovers and a late-season benching to watch, but the trajectory makes a sophomore leap the base case.
Derik Queen enters 2026-27 at #109 on our board — Round 10 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 13.6 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.9 assists in 27.7 minutes a night. The value is built on rebounds and blocks, with threes the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-threes builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability helps the case: we project about 69 games.
