Trevelin Marleto Queen (born February 25, 1997) is an American professional basketball player for the Orlando Magic of the National Basketball Association (NBA), on a two-way contract with the Osceola Magic of the NBA G League. He played college basketball for the New Mexico State Aggies, as well as at College of Marin and New Mexico Military Institute.

Early life

[edit]

Queen began playing basketball at the age of four at a hoop in his garage. He played shortstop and pitcher on the baseball field growing up, which he said was his best sport.[1] Queen played football for the FAB Phenoms Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) program.[2] He played basketball for North County High School in his hometown of Glen Burnie, Maryland. He began playing for the varsity team as a sophomore for the final playoff game of the season. Queen moved to a high school in Florida for his junior season but was not allowed to play basketball because he had transferred too late.[3] Queen returned to North County as a senior and played nine games. He had no college basketball offers by the end of his high school career.[1]

College career

[edit]

Queen originally planned to attend Prince George's Community College due to a mutual relationship between the school's basketball coach and his AAU coach, but he redshirted his first season because of paperwork issues.[4] He began playing college basketball at College of Marin in Marin County, California. While attending the school, Queen lived in crowded conditions at a retirement home before he and his roommates were kicked out. For one week, he lived with three teammates in a car in East Oakland, before moving into the home of his teammate's relative.[1] Queen scored a freshman season-high 29 points, to go with 11 rebounds and eight steals, in a December 10, 2016 win over Feather River College.[5] In 14 games with Marin, he averaged a team-high 21.3 points, 7.9 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game.[6][7]

As a sophomore, Queen moved to New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell, New Mexico upon his family's advice. In his season debut, he scored 40 points in a November 1, 2017 victory over Northern New Mexico JV. On November 4, Queen recorded a season-high 41 points in a loss to New Mexico Junior College.[8] By the end of the season, he was averaging 26 points, which ranked fourth in the National Junior College Athletic Association, to go with 7.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game.[7][8] Queen was selected to the All-Western Junior College Athletic Conference team.[9] He committed to play NCAA Division I basketball for Western Kentucky and enrolled at the school but departed in September 2018.[10] He later committed to New Mexico State.[1]

As a junior, Queen averaged 7.8 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game as one of the top reserves for the Aggies. He scored a season-high 27 points in the WAC tournament title game against Grand Canyon.[11] He was named the 2019 WAC tournament MVP.[12] In the first round of the 2019 NCAA tournament, he scored 14 points but missed a potential game-winning three-pointer in a 78–77 loss to fifth-seeded Auburn, who would advance to the Final Four.[13] As a senior, Queen averaged 13.2 points and 5.2 rebounds per game and was one of the top defenders in the conference.[1] He missed three weeks with a knee injury.[14] Queen was named to the Second Team All-WAC.[15] He scored a season-high 23 points and nine rebounds on November 22, 2019, in a 78–77 loss to New Mexico.[16]

Professional career

[edit]

Rio Grande Valley Vipers (2021)

[edit]

After going undrafted in the 2020 NBA draft, Queen signed with the Houston Rockets on November 12, 2020.[17] He was waived in training camp on December 16.[18] He then joined the Rockets' NBA G League affiliate, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, making his debut on February 10, 2021.[19] Queen averaged 10 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game, shooting 45.8 percent from the floor.[20]

On September 29, 2021, Queen signed a partially guaranteed training camp deal with the Los Angeles Lakers,[21][20] but was waived on October 15.[22] Queen subsequently rejoined the Rio Grande Valley Vipers.[23] In 10 games, he averaged 22.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 3.0 steals and 2.6 three-pointers made.[24]

Houston Rockets (2021–2022)

[edit]

On December 18, 2021, Queen signed a two-way contract with the Houston Rockets.[24][25] On April 7, 2022, he was named the 2021–22 NBA G League Most Valuable Player.[26][27]

Philadelphia 76ers (2022)

[edit]

On July 1, 2022, Queen signed a two-year, $3.5 million contract with the Philadelphia 76ers.[28] Queen was waived by the 76ers after suffering a head injury in an opening preseason game.[29]

Indiana Pacers (2022–2023)

[edit]

On October 11, 2022, Queen signed a two-way contract with the Indiana Pacers, splitting time with their G League affiliate, the Fort Wayne Mad Ants.[30] He was named to the G League's inaugural Next Up Game for the 2022–23 season.[31] On March 27, 2023, the G League suspended Queen for one game without pay for directing threatening language toward a game official in a 125–121 win over the Delaware Blue Coats two days earlier. This caused him to miss the Mad Ants' first-round playoff game against the Capital City Go-Go, which the Mad Ants lost.[32]

On March 29, the Pacers waived Queen.[33]

[edit]

On September 12, 2023, Queen signed with the Orlando Magic[34] and on October 21, his deal was converted into a two-way contract.[35]
