US EditionDuke's Khaman Maluach, Maryland's Derik Queen Headline List of Big Men in Upcoming NBA Draft
- Freshman big men Khaman Maluach of Duke and Derik Queen of Maryland headline the NBA draft scheduled for June 25 after notable college seasons.
- Maluach was a key interior presence for Duke’s strong defensive squad that made it to the Final Four, while Queen led Maryland’s offense as they advanced to the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament.
- Maluach, a 7-foot-1 South Sudanese player, showed strong rim protection, pick-and-roll efficiency, and transition potential but has a developing offensive skillset and raw shooting.
- Queen, a skilled 6-foot-9 big man, averaged 16.5 points, 9 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks, though his limited shooting range and defensive consistency concern scouts.
- Their performances suggest Maluach and Queen could be the only big men selected in the lottery, reflecting a smaller pool of top-tier frontcourt prospects this draft.
