Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Neemias Esdras Barbosa Queta was born in Barreiro, Portugal in July of 1999. He is the son of Bissau-Guinean parents Mica and Djaneuba Queta. Queta began playing basketball at the age of 10 for F.C. Barreirense and would go on to play in two games in the Liga Portuguesa de Basquetebol for S.L. Benfica. In August of 2018, he ended his career with Benfica, choosing instead to continue playing basketball at the collegiate level for Utah State. In his first season, the center averaged 11.8 points, 8.9 rebounds and 2.4 blocks and was named both Mountain West Freshman of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year. Queta declared for the 2019 NBA Draft, but ultimately withdrew and returned to play at Utah State. He then led Portugal to a gold medal and earned all-tournament team honors in the 2019 FIBA U20 European Championship Division B, but suffered a left knee injury in the tournament semifinal that caused him to miss the first nine games of his sophomore season. Nevertheless, Queta earned Second Team All-Mountain West and All-Defensive Team honors and saw a jump in his scoring average with 13 points per game, but saw a slight dip in rebounds (7.8) and blocks (1.7). He improved in all three categories as a junior, averaging 14.9 points, 10.1 rebounds and 3.3 blocks, and broke his own program single-season record for blocks with 94. Queta also earned First Team All-Mountain West honors, was once again named Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year and was one of four finalists for the 2021 Naismith Defensive Player of the Year Award. In March of 2021, he declared for the 2021 NBA Draft and chose to forgo his remaining collegiate eligibility, finishing as Utah State's all-time leader in blocks and blocks per game with 219 and 2.4 respectively. Queta became the first-ever Portuguese player to be drafted in the NBA when he was selected by the Sacramento Kings with the 39th overall pick. In August of 2021, he signed a two-way deal to play for the Kings and their NBA G League affiliate, the Stockton Kings. Fans can follow Queta on Twitter @nemi1599.

Strikes deal with Boston
CBoston Celtics
September 17, 2023
Queta agreed to a two-way contract with the Celtics on Saturday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Queta, who was a second-round draft pick of the Kings in 2021, was waived by Sacramento earlier this week. He appeared in just 19 games over two seasons with the Kings, spending most of his time in the G League. Queta will occupy one of Boston's three two-way slots and will have the ability to move between both the NBA and G League, though he's still likely to see the majority of his playing time with the Maine Celtics during his third professional season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could draw wide interest
CFree Agent

Queta "would make sense on a great many rosters," opines John Hollinger of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Queta is eligible for a two-way contract, which adds flexibility to his appeal. The 24-year-old was the 39th overall pick in the 2021 Draft and earned All-NBA G League First Team honors last season. Standing at 7-feet, 250 pounds, Queta's presence around the rim carries inherent value and upside as a backup big.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Queta was used sparingly during his rookie campaign, suiting up in just 14 games. However, he did manage to block 0.6 shots in just 8.5 minutes, meaning if he can somehow get to 20 minutes per game, he could have some limited streaming appeal. He should not be on anyone's fantasy radar to open the season, but if things go south for the Kings, he may step into a more prominent role down the stretch.
Queta was selected by the Kings with the 38th overall pick in 2021 NBA Draft and was later signed to a two-way deal. The 20-year-old was a dominant player during his junior season at Utah State, averaging 14.9 points, 10.1 rebounds, 3.3 blocks, 2.7 assists and 1.1 steals in 30.0 minutes per game. The 22-year-old projects as a developmental piece, but with his seven-foot frame, he has clear upside. The Kings currently have a group of talented, young bigs led by Richaun Holmes and Marvin Bagley, so it'll be difficult for Queta to crack the rotation. He'll spend plenty of time in the G League while on a two-way deal.
