CBS Sports projects Derik Queen to Houston in latest NBA Mock Draft

While Queen is widely viewed as a lottery pick, there's some reporting that his draft stock could be falling following the "eye-test" at the NBA Draft Combine. This week, On3's Jamie Shaw indicated he believes that to be the case.

"...However, the NBA Draft Combine confirmed the eye-test about Queen’s athleticism," wrote Shaw. "While it was already known that Queen was a less-than-average athlete, his testing numbers finished even worse than expected. Queen finished with a reported 12.45 lane agility drill, giving him the third lowest score in the previous five years of the NBA Draft Combine. His 28.0″ reported maximum vertical would have finished tied with Payton Sandfort as the second lowest total last year.

"The NBA Draft Combine also showed that Queen has not been able to clean up the hitch in his jump shot from high school. He shot 20.0 percent from three this season and he made only 45.0 percent of his 111 recorded shots here (off dribble, spot up, 3-point star, 3-point side, and free-throw). Decision-making is an interesting stat with Queen as well as he finished with 67 assists to 85 turnovers this season with high usage. Dating back to high school, over has last two seasons played (63 games), Queen has 125 assists to 137 turnovers....."

It's certainly going to be interesting to see where teams ultimately settle on Queen. While his testing may leave some feeling unimpressed, his production on the court is impossible to ignore.
