Prior to Derik Queen undergoing surgery to repair a torn scapholunate ligament in his left wrist, he was facing a ton of criticism for his play during summer league. Many criticized Queen for his poor turnovers and mediocre effort on the defensive end. This trend continued on a recent episode of the Game Theory Podcast, where Sam Vecenie of The Athletic had this to say about Queen's poor performance in Vegas.
"Probably the worst defensive player I saw at summer league".
These comments from Vecenie may sound harsh, but they are also extremely fair.
