It’s time to trade Zion and just start over with fears and queen and Murphy. Like it’s time lol he can’t stay healthy.

Trade Zion the experiment is over and build around this kid…he is reliable
Can we make his new nickname Dairy Queen
Next Boogie Cousins
he missed a few easy shots that would have otherwise got him 30. but his touch around the rim is already elite compared to most guys his age and position. with a little cleaning this guy could one day be an offensive powerhouse for his team
Dude is 19

Became a fan late last NCAA season,
Saw he wasn't scared in the tournament.
He has only been trending upwards,
I got a seat on this bandwagon early.
He kinda has that euro game. Hopefully more Americans take notice.
Start him ASAP trade Zion and Poole get a defensive big two draft picks and a guard that can defend. Pelicans would be much better.
He’s a 6’9.5 center with no vertical
Yeaaaaa stupid ‼️ West Baltimore baby ‼️
He reminds me of prime Eddy Curry or Dejuan Blair.
Not gon lie by time we see a inside big
Its pretty satisfying watching someone score with skill instead of athleticism in the NBA. Watching Queen operate is like watching Luka, you keep thinking how does this guy get his shot off when it is supposedly suppose to get blocked every time by these "athletic" super humans but the basketball keeps going in the hoop for these skilled guys. Now I am off to practice some hook shots and fadeaways to add to my game. Thanks for the inspiration Derik!
bro plays like joker in that post LOL
damn, maybe the Pelicans were right moving up to grab this guy…😮
Z-BO
He just a basketball player man…great feel for the game … Aka big easy
Baby Jokic 😂
Not glazing but 0:17 gave me young Tim Duncan vibes. The play right before that was simple beauty. Easy basketball, great footwork, and a ton of confidence.
Derik queen rises
