Maryland’s offense-first big who plays like a guard in a center’s body
In the 2024-25 season, Queen was Maryland’s go-to interior force, averaging 16.5 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 1.9 assists while powering the Terps to a 27-9 finish and a Sweet 16 run[3][4]. What makes him special is the blend of soft touch, post craft, and real playmaking feel—he can score with spin moves, face-ups, and touch finishes, then thread passes like a connector, not just a finisher[7][11]. He’s a strong fit for teams wanting a skilled, high-IQ big; the main watchout is that his NBA ceiling depends on how much his defense and shooting expand[10][11].
