Top 20 junior Derik Queen has a star-studded weekend; setting more visits

Posted Jan 12, 2023
It wasn't particularly close on Thursday and Friday, Derik Queen was the best player at the NIBC LaPorte Invitational. In two games for Montverde (Fla.) Academy, the five-star big man averaged 29-points, 10.5 rebounds, three-assists, one block and 2.5 steals. Very few - if any - bigs in all of high school have his scoring package and he's tapping into it. (247 Sports)
