Quinn Cook

12.3 MPG (9 GP) | 5.8 PPG | 1.6 APG

Quinn Cook was on the Pelicans’ initial roster when training camp broke last fall. He’s a young, talented point guard who has an NBA level skill-set and should be in the league for years to come.

New Orleans brought him back at the end of the season on a 10-day contract with the intent of re-evaluating him after completing his second season in the D-League.

Apparently the Pelicans liked what they saw from Cook in practice and in the nine games he appeared in late in the season enough to sign him to a two-year contract.

While in the D-League, Cook averaged 26 points, 6.7 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 39 games with the Canton Charge this season.
