Derik Queen, a 20-year-old Baltimore native and Terps star, was selected No. 13 overall by the New Orleans Pelicans in the 2025 NBA draft.

After an incredible freshman season with the Maryland Terrapins, Derik Queen's NBA journey is now officially underway. On Wednesday night during the first round of the 2025 NBA Draft, the Atlanta Hawks selected Queen with the No.

This stands true for NBA draft picks as well, even those selected in the early stages of the first round. Former Maryland Terrapins star Derik Queen is no exception, and the 2025 First-team All-Big Ten selection didn't waste much time before making sure to update his LinkedIn profile.
