Say what you will about Holiday, he is still by far the best NBA player ever named Justin.
Don't read the two posts above yours!

So bored with this Kangz game went and found this. Earlier Jerry Reynolds said Tyler Herro made "a Maravich play, shows you how old I am." Well, here it is at around 1:38 mark of Pistol Pete highlights

I multi-tasked and watched the second half. Ugly game. Wish I got to see more Queta. Hell it doesn't matter if he is any good in a game like this.
I would still really like us to finish behind the Blazers. Not that I am convinced their current front office is anything special.

I don’t think you can play him too much if he rebounds as badly as he did tonight.

Queta got his 15 minutes, 11 of them being non-garbage time. Had some good moments, but the rebounding is a legit concern. His 1 reb fell right into his lap.
Obviously deserves more of a chance to prove himself up here that he can fix it (especially since he's been relatively fine at the G-League), but that looks like the major hurdle he needs to pass to become an NBA player. There's a lot of other nice qualities though.

I didn't realize he only had one rebound. Was he out fought for them or is it a positioning thing? Definitely unacceptable in the NBA for a player of his size but he averages 8.2 in the G so???

Yeh rebounding is instincts, positioning and effort and he is below average in all three. As a 3 year college player I just don’t see him improving much in that area. He will have to excel as a shot blocker, rim protection and offense to stick.
There's more to it than just getting rebounding on the stat sheet, there is room for improvement for sure, but he's already shown that he's great at box-outs in the g-league, which is more important than just getting all the defensive rebounds away from your teammates, theres some adjustments to be done in his positioning but that will come with time.

he was always just hanging out under the hoop with no like real idea of where the ball could go. He’s really gotta work on that

its the most bizarre part of his game. It’s hard to imagine a 3 year college player with his size and athleticism being that poor on the boards. I wanted us to draft him but that part of his game is rough. Maybe he could spend the off-season watching this video on repeat
Hopefully he spends the offseason in the gym, working on his game. Setting good screens is a valuable skill, indeed, but if setting good screens is your only NBA-level skill, you're probably not an NBA player.
Is Queta's one skill so noticeable because of how poorly he does everything else, or how poorly the rest of the team sets screens?
As I type this, I realize that the answer is, "yes."
