I've been thinking that Queen looks much more comfortable today and is playing much better defense.

Queen has the ability to be a good defender , he shows flashes . He just has to want to be a good defender

Queen seems to play better when he's the center and Missi is off the floor.


Yeah it’s very clear. Which also means he can’t fit with Zion cuz you’ll need to put a defensive rim protecting 4 next to queen and that isn’t Zion.

You need an Aaron Gordon like 4 if Queen is your 5

Point Center Queen is leading a 13-0 run. This is impressive

No more playing Queen at 4. He’s a center. That was an impressive stretch, we completely ran the offense through point center Queen and he dominated led a 15-0 run

Queen advantage is at center. He loses all his advantage at PF. When he plays PF, Missi's guy will play shot blocker which neutralizes his advantage. But when he takes on the opposing center head on, he keeps them off balance and they can't time their block on his shots.

Queen’s defense also picked up during that stretch. He seems like Zion where he lets his offense dictate his defense. If he’s engaged on offense, he’ll be engaged on defense

Sometimes Missi throws up some Bizarre shots.

Holy shite Yves has absolutely no touch, 0/7 as an athletic center is damn near impossible

But part of Queen struggling at PF is on Missi to position himself to make it difficult for his man to effectively help. Missi struggled last season playing with Zion for the same reason. It's just part of the maturing process for Missi: figuring out his positioning.

Disappointing. He's getting to the right spots but flat out missing.

Missi just needs to focus on being the next Clint Capela probably. That would be a tremendous outcome for him. Just become great at blocking shots and finishing dunks. I think too many players think and train like they are going to be the next Hakeem, when most bigs just aren't capable of being half as good as that.

Being a threat on offense would help that problem a lot but Yves is dreadful on offense

Fears is atrocious on defense right now, will need a lot of work on that end.
