Derik Queen turns 21 in less than three weeks.
Players his age aren’t supposed to be this good this soon. They aren't supposed to put up numbers like the ones he put up Monday night at Smoothie King Center.
Queen finished with 33 point, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and four blocked shots in a 135-132 loss to the San Antonio Spurs .
“He played his a-- off tonight,” said teammate DeAndre Jordan.
Queen filled up the stat sheet in a way that few have.
Only LeBron James, Luka Doncic, De’Aaron Fox and Victor Wembanyama have recorded a 30-point triple double before their 21st birthday. Queen is the first center with a 30-point triple double as a rookie. (Wembanyama’s came in his second season). Queen’s came in just the 25th game of the season.
Queen is also the first player to have a 30-point
