During a recent episode of his podcast, White Noise, Derrick White had some high praise for Neemias Queta. He said that Joe Mazzulla has been hard on Queta for the past few years, but a big season is on the horizon because of it.
“I think Joe has always been super hard on him for the last couple of years to prepare him for something like this,” White said. “Obviously, he’s going to have to have a big year, and we’re going to ask a lot out of him, which is exciting… He’s a guy who works hard, competes at a high level, and is just continuing to learn what works and what doesn’t in the NBA.
