Overview
After an incredible season at St. Frances Academy in Baltimore, which included a 56-point game, Queen was named the MaxPreps National Freshman of the Year and transferred to Montverde Academy in Florida. It took some time for Queen to earn playing time at the high school powerhouse, but he emerged as a star by his senior season and earned MVP honors at the 2024 McDonald’s All-American Game. Queen started all 36 of his appearances during his lone season at Maryland, averaging 16.5 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1.1 steals in 30.4 minutes. The 6-foot-10, 245-pound big man was named Big Ten Freshman of the Year and earned First-Team All-Big Ten honors.

Analysis
Queen was nearly unguardable in college when his footwork was on point. He got into trouble when he tried to do too much and only relied on his athleticism to get looks, but those are normal growing pains for a freshman who’s by far the best offensive player on their team. Queen has a lethal face-up game, where he can blow by bigger defenders or bully small ones, and his work in transition is elite, which both culminate in a ton of free throw attempts. His jumper isn’t up to par yet, but Queen has a fluid motion and shoots with confidence. He’s also not a technically sound defender, but he has the size, athleticism and versatility to eventually excel on that end of the court.
