Personal Life
Derik Queen is originally from Baltimore, and he began his high school career at St. Francis Academy before transferring to national powerhouse program Montverde Academy. When he was just 17 years old, Queen was the only member of the 2024 recruiting class invited to try out for the USA U18 National Team. Queen didn’t make the cut with the older team, but he left a lasting impression on his peers and coaches. “Derik has a very versatile skill set for his size,” USA Basketball coach Don Showalter told Zagsblog. “I especially like to way he competes on the court every play and obviously loves the game.” Queen said he likes impacting the game by scoring, rebounding and playing defense. “I also like making plays for my teammates, talking and knowing where everybody is supposed to be,” Queen told Zagsblog. During his junior season at Montverde, Queen averaged 11.6 points, 6.5 rebounds and shot 64%. He played AAU basketball for Team Thrill, a member of the Under Armour Association. Queen is also a candidate to potentially transfer to the Class of 2023, but he won’t make that decision until July 2023.
