Who does Queen remind you of?

I swear I've seen players with his game/body-frame/shooting-form, but for the life of me, I can't pinpoint who he physically reminds me of, but he reminds me of someone and my memory is shot.

Maybe I'm having a crazy combo of memory flashes of Zach Randolph, Naz Reid, KAT, and even Stanley Roberts. I dunno.

I love how you could tell Queen was fricking mad they keep losing when he stole that ball at the end of the game and dunked it. He has a real competitor’s mindset. We have to get rid of Zion before he can poison him with his apathetic influence. But to answer the question, I’ll go with a mixture of Boogie and Zach Randolph.

Maybe John "Hot Plate" Williams?

Gamewise, the passing definitely fits. Physically, iirc, JW's arms (during his LSU years) & lower torso (during his Bullets rookie season) might be what's somewhat familiar. (???) It's been so long.

We have to get a new training team in to get these guys in shape. Queen is going to be a monster as he fills out and slims down. He's carrying way too much weight and it's limiting him. He'll only get better as he gets in better shape..

He really does remind me of David west when he’s attacking the rim. Not much vertical explosion, but light touch with both hands and good feet and strength to move people and get to the rim with space to shoot.

He can dribble and distribute better than west, but can’t shoot like west yet. If he develops a basic mid range game he’ll be a perennial all star.

Chris Webber & demarcus cousins.

He is built like cousins, but has more finesse and handles nor is he lumbering when he moves. He's smooth like Webber

That's his ceiling IMHO

He’s got a little Bam Adebayo in him. Also some Rasheed Wallace as a shot creator for himself.

Webber was pretty explosive. Queen really is a non vertical player like Jokic, Randolph, David west, Julius Randle.

The resemblance to Jokic really is kind of wild.

I don’t think he’ll approach Jokic, but Queen is going to be really good.

Probably not but his last 3 game splits are 23/8/6 and he hasn't played 20 games yet or had his best plauers to scheme with (and he still makes everything look easy). I don't think there will be any complaints if he's 70% of Jokic.

Yea I think Jokic is at least circling the argument for greatest center of all time. If Queen is 70% or that.

I think he will do this, but if Queen can add the 3 point shooting of Jokic to his tool kit he’ll be an mvp candidate in the future.

And just for fun, 70% of Jokic this season is currently:

21 point, 9 reb, 7.5 assist player.

Jokic is just stupid good and really hope he gets a second ring.

DQ reminds me of Paul Pierce , Jokic, West. All seem slow and awkward but some how make all of the plays it just does not look right.
