Hopefully he didn't play very many minutes. Just saying

I watched the game and I doubt he played 15 min.

14 and 7 would be pretty impressive for 15 minutes. Granted the game was a complete demolition.

In tonight's 118-28 win over South Florida I had Derik with 14p on a perfect 7-7 from the field; 7r; 2a; 3s.

Think you meant South Lake.  Anyway, it looks like it was a 'preseason' game, so just an exhibition game against a local high school before they go on to play their actual national competition.

FWIW, South Lake actually went 16-11 last year and play in Florida's largest class (6A) I believe.  Enrollment over 2,000.  But playing against a team like Montverde is just another level.

Yes South Lake.  I was so tired last night after raking leaves for 6 hours it's a wonder I could even find the keyboard on my laptop.

Clay Travis is a Dakich-level loser. Will say anything to get clicks.

Definirely a much higher caliber of opponent but Montverde defeated Huntsville (AL) 78-51.  Rough shooting night for Liam finishing with only 6p and just 1-6 on 3s.  But he added 6r; 4a; 1b.  Queen 12p; 3r; 5a; 1s.  Both played approximately 20 min.

Derik had a sweet wrap around pass in the lane to a teammate for an easy layup and in addtion to his stat line, he also grabbed the mop and mopped sweat off the floor at one point in the game.

Made a catch on, I believe, his 1st basket, that was just awesome and he made it look like no big deal. There may not be a better physical trait in HS basketball than Derik Queen’s hands. That kid catches everything.

Echoes what we’ve already discussed about Queen. No way it’s good for Maryland.

Mow them.  It's better for the soil and much easier on the back.

Derik would be a long shot to win the award but what an honor for him just to be list.

I agree unless he wants to see what Woodson's offense would look like now that TJD is gone.  Woody has said having TJD was great but created a need to run a different offense than he preferred.  So that begs the question, what will his offense really look like.  

Good God, I hope that's not his plan... because if it is, IU's first 4 games are screaming "Go somewhere else!" 

As embarrassing as the first 4 games have been for us as fans, imagine being a 5-star recruit and hitching your wagon to that.

Better than hitching it to this lol.

If I’m DQ, I’m watching Reneau and thinking to myself, ‘Dang, I’ve got footwork like him. I’m gonna eat in their system.’

After I initially posted this, I saw that Liam had re-tweeted it.

Is it too greedy to add "2. An above average natural shooter to compliment, or at least back up Liam, so that we can (gulp) have what every other power conference team has, being multiple outside weapons"?
