THE DERIK QUEEN COLLECTION
Base, parallels, numbered, autos — every Derik Queen card Dad’s willing to part with.
Look at this kid posing like he's waiting for his mom to pick him up from practice. Standing there holding the ball like it's a purse at the mall. Sure, you were Big Ten Freshman of the Year, but in this photo you look like you're about to ask me if we have any Capri Suns left in the fridge.
ABOUT DERIK QUEEN
So Derik Queen is this big man out of Maryland who made some serious noise as a freshman in the Big Ten. He put up a 20-20 game right out of the gate in 2024/25 and became the first Terp ever to win Big Ten Freshman of the Year, which is pretty impressive when you think about Maryland's history. The guy averaged nearly a double-double with his scoring and rebounding, earning first-team all-conference honors as a true freshman. Now he's with the Pelicans, and collectors are watching closely because early cards of talented big men tend to age really well, especially if you can snag low-numbered parallels before he breaks out at the next level.
Queen is quite a handful around the rim. When he catches a pass on the block and spins into action, defenders are happy to escape the matchup without the basket being pulled down on top of them. Bending the iron to his will, the big man adds extra emphasis to his fierce finishes.
Queen plays like he's holding court, and every possession's a royal decree. He seals you with a shrug, scores with a smirk, then jogs off like the paint belongs to him. Post footwork, pass touch, presence — it's all regal. Sure, you can try to double him, but you're still going to end up losing the crown.
Queen teaches low-post lessons with every pivot. The paint professor's footwork is a lecture, his spin a quiz, his touch a master's thesis. Defenders leave with sore ribs and fewer answers. Watch once and you'll understand that this big man runs the classroom, and he's not going to tolerate any disrespect.
Queen grows points where others get bruises. He plants in the post, digs in deep and harvests buckets with patience and muscle. His roots stretch through defenders and his strength bears fruit. You think you've boxed him out — then he rips down a rebound like it owed him something.
A burly big man who has dazzling moves in the post, Derik became the first U. of Maryland player to earn Big Ten Freshman of the Year honors. Queen first debuted in 2024/25 with a 20-20 game and averaged 15.7 PPG and 9.7 RPG to be a first-team all-league pick.
