You give up top lottery pick next year for Derek Queen and you don’t play him ,typical of losing organization.Learn how to freaking win.

He has not been playing well, teams have figured him out.

-17 tonight

He was like -23 last game

He will have to sit for awhile and learn

Have teams figured him out or does the uptempo play we now do not mesh with his game

Teams have figured Zion out

Think it's too early to say that about Queen

He's a rook. He's going to run hot and cold. Especially against a team like GSW where Draymond gets to make his own foul calls.

You learn by playing.Play him last 4 minutes of tonight’s game saw one brick after another.He can shoot,pass and rebound but not on bench.

This is a fact, but he is still a rookie. I want him and Fears to play, alot. But I want it to be controlled and scheduled in a manner that boots their skills and confidence.

I believe they would both best off the bench, at least half the time, and getting 24-28 mpg. That gives them a mix against starters and back ups. I don't want to wear them out or put them in bad situations while they are still learning. Queen still needs massive work on his conditioning and stamina.

The focus right now should be steady development for our youth, including Missi with the rookies, and showcasing our vets for trade value. A lot of changes coming before the end of the year..

Depends on the player, some learn better by watching the team move and run sets. Queen is going to have good games where he will get 30 minutes, and he will have bad games where he gets 15-20 minutes. Doesn’t mean he’s not learning.

The play style also doesn’t fit him to well, opposing teams know they can just run with pace and he will be out of position on defense more often than not, and the higher paced offense we want to run doesn’t fit him either until he can learn to play a little faster.

Yeah, the biggest problem with Queen is that he's a half court player, and we want to run.

He seems to have gotten lazy on both ends. Hope the praise did not go to his head. He has not been impressive at all lately.
