Weaknesses: 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 hes 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 .
