Maryland center Derik Queen praised in 2025 NBA draft by ESPN analyst
Maryland center Derik Queen praised in 2025 NBA draft by ESPN analyst Derik Queen is a potential lottery pick in the 2025 NBA draft because of his skill set, and the former Maryland center recently earned high praise from ESPN analyst Paul Biancardi. Queen was the Big Ten Freshman of the Year, averaging 16.5 points, nine rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks in 36 games on 52.6% shooting from the field. He helped lead the Terrapins to their first Sweet 16 appearance since 2016. The 6-foot-10 standout is highly touted for his versatility on offense and ability to score in various ways. He is a tremendous competitor and demonstrated throughout the year his ability to impact games on defense, traits that earned him a high distinction from Biancardi. Queen, also an AP All-American honorable mention, set the program freshman scoring record (594 points) after registering 12 20-point games and 15 double-doubles, which led all first-year players. He ranked sixth in scoring average among Power Four freshmen. The 20-year-old competed in the combine last month, registering a 7-foot wingspan in the anthropometric measurement testing. He dazzled with that length with the Terrapins, another key trait that makes him an intriguing prospect at the next level. Queen had a tremendous rise up draft boards throughout the season and is on the verge of becoming a first-round pick, as a result. He projects to have a bright future ahead and should fit in well with teams drafting in the lottery on June 25.

In Hulu documentary, Alex Cooper details alleged sexual harassment by BU soccer coach: ‘I didn't realize how much I had suppressed'
In the documentary, Cooper alleged that Feldman, who was BU's coach from 1995-2022, made inappropriate comments of a personal and sexual nature about Cooper; threatened Cooper with retaliation and did so by benching her; and attempted to touch Cooper and be alone with her outside of team settings, during her time as a player. Advertisement Feldman, through a lawyer, has not responded to the allegations. Boston University also has not responded to multiple inquiries from the Globe. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up 'It was this psychotic game of, 'Do you want to play? Tell me about your sex life,' ' Cooper said in the documentary. ' 'I have to drive you to your night class. Get in the car with me, alone.' ' During Feldman's practice film sessions, Cooper said, 'We're going to rewind my tape every five seconds and talk about my hair and my body. Look at those legs. Everybody look at Alex in her uniform. 'We would be in preseason, my assistant coach would come over, 'Coach needs to talk to you,' ' Cooper said. 'She would pull me in, just be staring at me, sit next to me on the couch, put her hand on my thigh. I felt so deeply uncomfortable. After practice, 'All right, great work everyone. Alex, I want to see you in my office.' ' Advertisement Cooper's mother, Laurie, said in the documentary that a lawyer in 2015 identified Feldman's behavior as sexual harassment, and that the family could sue. The lawyer, Alex Cooper said, advised that suing would 'drag [on] for years' and that BU 'will do everything they can to protect' Feldman. Cooper also alleged that in 2015 she and her parents brought comprehensive documentation of Feldman's behavior to Boston University athletic director Drew Marrochello and his staff. Cooper alleges they did not look at the evidence, and they told her she could stay on scholarship but that they would not be firing Feldman. Marrochello, who in March was named the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics' AD of the Year — has not responded to Globe inquiries. The end of Part 1 of the documentary shows Cooper returning to Nickerson Field for the first time since graduating. In a 'I wasn't sure I wanted to get into what happened to me in college in this documentary,' she said. 'I figured let's keep it light, let's keep it fun, let's just approach it with a more positive energy.' But the filmmakers, she said, encouraged her to visit BU and see how she felt. 'The minute I stepped on that field, I felt so small,' she said. 'Money, power, status, followers, years of therapy — none of it mattered. I felt like I was 18 years old again, completely powerless, no voice. And the minute I saw Nickerson Field, I broke down and I started sobbing. I didn't realize how much I had suppressed, and how much I was still carrying with me.' Advertisement Cooper buried her story because it was painful, she said. She was embarrassed. She was afraid of retaliation. She feared people would downplay her trauma because the abuse was not physical. She felt shame that she — who has created a media empire centered around female empowerment — was abused by a woman. Coming forward, she worried, could undermine her message. What compelled Cooper to speak up, she said, was 'that other women had stepped onto that field and experienced the same harassment I did. I discovered that the abuse and trauma I had been subjected to at Boston University was still actively happening on that campus in 2025, a decade after I left.' Matt Porter can be reached at
