Brian Cook Profile

Cook’s game is more finesse than power, as he prefers to face the basket more than play down on the box. He has a good touch out to the college three-point line, though his forte is mid-range jump shots, he rebounds well and can be an enforcer on the post defensively. As a senior he became a very consistent player to lead Illinois to a better season than many expected, including winning the Big Ten Tournament.

Cook is likely a second round pick, and he could certainly be a steal for a team at that point.
