The bankrupt version of Poole returns to the NBA Development League, will he still have a chance to return to the NBA?
According to HopsRumors reporter JD Shaw, Quinn Cook, a backcourt player who helped the Warriors and Lakers win two championships, will sign with the Development League, and he will play in the development league for the rest of the season to get attention from NBA teams, hoping to return to the NBA next season.
Cook signed the Trail Blazers last September, but he was cut after playing for the team twice in preseason. Subsequently, Cook signed a season with VTB league powerhouse Lokomotiv Kuban, but in December last year, he terminated his contract early and left the European arena. His performance in Europe was not ideal, he made a total of 6 appearances for Kuban Lokomotiv, and in the 13.1 minutes of playing time per game, he could only contribute 5.5 points, 1 rebound and 2.7 assists, shooting only 35.5% from the field and only 25% from three-point range. Apparently, after two months of competition and training, he still couldn't adapt to the intensity and rhythm of the European arena.
When he played for the Warriors that year, Cook was also a regular rotation player for the Warriors, and even contributed to the Warriors' 2018 championship. His performance on the court and the way he shoots is reminiscent of Warriors rising star Jordan Poole, who has been in good form this season. It's just that compared to Poole, Cook has a comprehensive weakening of his ability. His shooting consistency and his performance on the defensive end are not as good as Poole's.
Cook was one of the brightest backcourt stars in the NCAA, leading Duke to the 2015 NCAA Championship. However, he has not been competitive enough in the NBA. It can only be said that playing next to Curry and James has won him more attention. I don't know if he can return to the NBA after leaving the two major traffic teams now.
