Max Feldman on Queen's performance at the La Porte Invitational.

Derik Queen's dominance was undoubtedly one of the headlines coming out of La Porte. The 6-9 big began the trip going for 34 points on 14-20 from the field, leading MVA in a comeback win over Sunrise Christian. Queen backed it a day later with another 24 points in a win over Wasatch. It was an interior exhibition from the jump, and notably the most dialed in and engaged he's shown in sometime.  Loaded with high level footwork, patience and craft on the interior, the 2024 big gave opposing bigs just about all they could handle through the weekend. Foul grifting, passing out of doubles and dislodging shot blockers, the 18 year old finished 24 of 37 from from the field across two games. The energy was infectious, as he stifled drivers at the rim and sparked the break off the glass, put the ball on the floor and created easy offense with throw aheads. There's been no shortage of flashes, but playing with similar assertiveness and confidence through the rest of the season would certainly be a game-changer for Montverde. Indiana, Maryland and Auburn are entrenched in the skilled big's recruitment.
