Articles about Brian Cook
July 6, 2014
Brian Cook - The 33 year old Cook is back for one final go-around, joining the Jazz last year for training camp and now back in summer league for the first time in a decade. Cook however has not been an effective player for seven years, and, having not played in his time since being cut by the Jazz, hasn't done anything to show this will stop being the case any time soon.

Brian Cook - Cook was a productive role player in his Laker days, but hasn't been effective since 2007. He continues to get NBA looks, but at this point is little more than a stretch four with a huge rebounding disadvantage and a very inconsistent shot.
