Derek queen is actually like a really good communicator on defense within the scheme and is like really good at making sure that like he has his teammates, you know, in the right spots and that he's in the right spots. I think he's actually also like pretty okay. Laterally on defense. Like if he is in a switch situation and is guarding like a wing and

I think he's actually also like pretty okay. Laterally on defense. Like if he is in a switch situation and is guarding like a wing and

he can slide his feet in like cut off that player. The problem is when you get them North South, it's really hard. I think for him to kind of stop his momentum and then change directions. Right. So like if he's closing out onto a shooter in like a scramble situation, I think he's really, it's, it's really hard for him to like stop and, and cut off a drive against him.

Like that's what I worry about most with him. And then like in drop also, I don't think he's particularly long and he's only like, you know, six, 10 ish. Let's go with. So like, he doesn't take up a lot of space in those circumstances either. Like the best drop coverage defenders in the league, they tend to be very big because they can just extend their arms.

They take up as much space as possible in the one on two. It's just a very, very difficult because of where teams set ball screens in the NBA. Like there's just a lot of space to cover. And I worry that he might not be long enough to cover all of that space effectively. So concerning for me, for sure. Okay. Concerning.

more often than he should be because they just don't have good point guard play this year. So he's asked to like, kind of separate from his man occasionally and try and get downhill. And like, that's not really what he's great at. Like he's an unbelievable shooter and floor spacer and movement shooter and everything that has some ball skills, but is not like a primary creator out there.

So you look at him and he's shooting 40% from the field and like 35 from three. And it's like, well, yeah, he's shooting 39, 40% off the catch from three and he makes his shots off of movement. And like, he's doing everything that we expected of him coming into the year.

It's just that the efficiency tanks, because he's like a 37% shooter or 40% shooter at the rim when he's asked to drive and take these like leaning floaters and things like that. So he's an answer here for sure. I mean, Carter Bryant, like he's, I love that Arizona scheme. I think Tommy Lloyd does a great job. It's just baffling to me that he doesn't play as much as is humanly possible.
