Should Queen be staring at C right now?

It’s an indictment on our C position for sure, but I feel like Queen looks more comfortable at C than PF, and arguably has played better than Missi.

Missi ain't NBA caliber ... G league at the most. He just blocks a few shots now and then... no offense and poor defense.

Not sure why Missi has such a big tendency to leave the key and jump straight onto the perimeter leaving him out of position and is nowhere to be seen in the paint. Dude is taking switching 1-5 too literally at times.

Queen isn't a good defender but he will at least stay close enough to the paint to actually be in the play when teams penetrate.

Bump! Queen has so much potential.

I love at the end of the game when Joel said “I guess he’s back in the rotation” lol. I feel like he and AD are so over Willie G.

I really wouldn't mind seeing Queen playing with Zion a lot more over the next few weeks. We have to see if they can play together. Queen and Zion can both pass which could make for some interesting 4/5 pick and roll actions. Queen's passing ability forces him to be guarded away from the goal even though he isn't much of a shooter. Plus, I think Queen is our best rebounder. I really see no reason to start Yves next to Zion instead of Queen.

It was also nice to see Jose closing. Jordan Poole is not a winning player. If we want to win, Jose has to play more.

His play in the 4th is actually why we won.

Absolute trash he got glued to the bench, imbecile at head coach.

Trade Zion for a pick or 2 and another young piece. Let Fears and Queen be the guys and take their lumps. Zion is in year 7 and still isn't a winning 1, in this league. Time to prioritize others.

Team is much more interesting and easy to root for when the oft fat/oft injured malcontent is out of the picture.

Zion is not part of the future. Trade him for whatever you can get. Waive him if you have to

Queen almost had a triple double and 4 steals in 18 minutes.

Personally I think he’s mostly a 4 and will play the 5 in small ball lineups

Surely DQ starts now, right? He and Fears are our only guys who can truly create for themselves/others other than Z.

I don't think Fears is ready to close games yet. Jose has done a great job and should continue to get the nod. You can mix Fears in when he's hot.

I agree. He definitely looked shaky down the stretch tonight. Looked like he lost his confidence

Genuinely wild Jose was a healthy scratch to start the season. The guy is a winner.

I do not care if Queen starts or not, but he needs to close out the game. I did not know really anything about him when we picked him, but so far I really like what I see, I do not know who is in the next draft, but if Queen keeps playing like he is, the trade was worth it.

I still cannot believe Loony is only 28 years old. I feel like he should be like 35.
