2007 Pre-Draft Scouting Report by Matthew Maurer
Assets
Unlike many young players he possesses an excellent mid-range game … Moves well without the ball, and understands how to fully utilize the entire floor to get his shot off …Has an NBA ready body that has shown development from his senior year of high school … Explosive scorer who can reel off big points in a hurry … Above average upper body strength and body control which enables him to finish after contact … Possesses legit three point range on his jumper … Unselfish and shows solid court vision to get teammates involved in the offense … Is a good athlete who contributes on the boards nightly … Has the ball handling ability and quick first step to break his man down on drives … Excellent finisher in transition and can end plays in dramatic fashion … Has a tremendous amount of confidence in his ability, rarely does he get rattled by the moment … Has all the physical gifts needed to emerge as a defensive presence … Underrated shooter off the dribble as well as catch and shoot …
Liabilities
Has a tendency to force shots when opposing defenders pressure him on the perimeter … Has tremendous confidence in his offensive ability which can make him a little trigger happy when the ball is in his hands … Defensively Cook has a habit of gambling too much and being impatient … This exposes him to pick up quick fouls by reaching in or defending his man too aggressively … Needs to work on protecting the ball better as he can get careless … Settles too much for the jumper instead of driving to the basket to draw fouls …While he’s an above average mid-range shooter he is a surprisingly below average free throw shooter for his position … His overall game can be disrupted if he struggles offensively …. Can at times go for the spectacular pass or shot which can lead to turnovers …
