His debut season backed that up: \u003cstrong\u003e33 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists\u003c\/strong\u003e in a single game before his 21st birthday, placing him alongside Michael Jordan, Elgin Baylor, and Oscar Robertson as the only rookies ever to accomplish that feat. He finished the year as an \u003cstrong\u003eNBA All-Rookie Second Team\u003c\/strong\u003e honoree averaging 11.7 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 3.7 assists — the kind of foundational production that puts a player squarely on the buy list.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003e2025-26 Topps Chrome Update Basketball\u003c\/strong\u003e — released August 6, 2026 — is the first-ever NBA application of the Chrome Update concept, delivering in-season photography, a full Refractor rainbow, and the landmark \u003cem\u003eRookie Debut Patch Autograph\u003c\/em\u003e program. The \u003cstrong\u003ePink Raywave Refractor\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Mega-exclusive pattern parallel, making it a hard pull from any given box and keeping the secondary market supply genuinely thin. With only \u003cstrong\u003e299 copies ever printed\u003c\/strong\u003e, this is the tightest version of Queen's Chrome Update RC outside of the deeper die-cuts and sub-\/199 parallels.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Derik Queen — New Orleans Pelicans Center, #22\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCard number:\u003c\/strong\u003e #263 — official Rookie Card\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eParallel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pink Raywave Refractor, serial-numbered \u003cstrong\u003e\/299\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSet:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025-26 Topps Chrome Update Basketball (released Aug. 6, 2026)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDraft pedigree:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025 NBA Draft, 1st round, Pick 13\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRookie milestone:\u003c\/strong\u003e First rookie center in NBA history with a 30-point triple-double\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Queen's card market is active across the Chrome Update rainbow, and the patterned RayWave parallels — exclusive to Mega boxes and printed to a fraction of the base run — consistently command a meaningful premium over standard Refractors. This \u003cem\u003ePink Raywave \/299\u003c\/em\u003e sits at the entry point of the serial-numbered rainbow where the real scarcity begins, and Queen's sophomore upside is only pointed upward.
