Derik Queen's wrist injury has opened the door for him to work on his biggest flaw ahead of his rookie season.
When the New Orleans Pelicans pulled off a blockbuster draft night deal to acquire Derik Queen, it felt like the entire NBA was coming for Joe Dumars' head. I'll even admit I had a horrible reaction to the trade myself. In my head, trading pick No. 23 and unprotected 2026 first for a prospect who struggled defensively and was a ball-dominating big just didn't make sense.
