Quinn Cook
PG – 6’2, 179lbs - 25 years old - 2 years of experience
Quinn Cook played suitably well on his two-way contract to not only earn a full contract, but one with future guaranteed money.
On the cusp of the NBA since turning pro, it was known that Cook could score. He had garnered several NBA looks and a few games in 2016/17 by virtue of his ability to score off the dribble, be it from beyond the arc or the mid-range. He then played a very big role for Golden State when Stephen Curry went down due to injury. It was not exactly Linsanity, but, relative to his status as a two-way contract player, it was not all that far off.
By being a small player without great explosion, Cook does not get to the rim much or finish easily once there. It is jump shots with him, a lot of them. And they go in. Without being a great play maker or passer, Cook also works off of that with a solid passing discipline, turning the ball over little despite being a primary ball handler. That, flanked with an absolutely excellent jump shot and scoring instincts (look at those G-League splits) makes for a small bundle of bench usefulness.
The concerns lie defensively, where Cook has never been good, and nor was he in his otherwise excellent run that saw him earn a full guaranteed NBA contract. But it is OK for a reserve to have flaws, even a big one like this. In being able to score off the dribble, penetrate and shift a defence, and create on every trip, the Warriors in Cook found the very type of cheap, in-house steal that they will need to find to keep this thing moving forward. He and Bell were massive helps this season.
Player Plan: Has a guaranteed minimum salary contract for next season. This is the kind of value that the Warriors need to find more of.

Quinn Cook
PG, 6’2, 184lbs, 24 years old, 1 year of experience
Cook has had a few NBA looks, but he is finding playing defence on the NBA level to be far harder than it ever was in college. When he can improve on that end, he will make the big league, because he is too good of a scorer to stay in the minors. Buoyed by the increased pacing and spacing, Cook has very much improved as a scorer in the D-League, scoring 26 points per game this year with the Canton Charge, leading to his call-ups with the Pelicans and (previously) the Mavericks. His contract situation essentially means he will go to camp and fight for a contract for the third year in a row; such is the life of a player on the cusp. But if he can extend himself defensively, he might one day win that battle. The Frazier trade will help.
Player Plan: One year of unguaranteed minimum salary contract remaining. Various guarantee dates should see him through to camp, where the spot is winnable.
