I don't expect much from him....NBA Draftnet's take on Cook.
Strengths: Really developed into one of the more reliable three point shooters for Duke this past season ... Great floor general and leader both on and off the court ... Has the ability to play both guard spots although his size suggests he is a more ideal fit for the PG position ... Team first guy as he showed when he allowed freshman Tyus Jones to come in and run the point while he slide to the off guard spot ... Great transition player. Above average ball handling skills and a player with a high basketball IQ ... Doesn't turn the ball over at a high rate for a guy with the ball in his hands a lot (1.4 TO's per game during Junior and Senior seasons) ... A tough player with great intensity ... Great free throw shooter at just a tick below 90% during his senior season ... Four year player that knows how to run and team and an offense ...
Weaknesses: Not a great athlete and doesn't have great size or length ... At 6'1 he's got good enough height for the next level but his length and lack of hops really hurts him as he tested out on the bottom half in almost every statistical category for point guards ... While it helped his team, his move from the point to the off guard position hurt him last year as he projects as a point in the NBA ... Not a great play maker and struggles to get to the rim against bigger, longer guards ... Does most of his damage from outside of the arc which has caused some to think that he's a one dimensional player on offense ... Not a great one on one defender although he does play the passing lanes well.

Cook is the one ppl talk about because of his scoring in the d league and I think he was friends with bron and kyrie I read. But out of curiosity I looked up the ther guy, Bentil...

Not going to go crazy over college highlights, and when I tried looking up his shot chart it said he took like 5 corner 3's in his 2015-16 season which makes no sense because his highlights clearly show he's taken way more than that. And his D-league stats are not good from the floor or from 3. He shot 29% from 3 and 35% from the floor. 21 years old though, so there is some optimism. And we need pf depth, so a flyer on a young 6'10 guy who seems to have the tools is something I hope turns into a rotational player. How many times can we get lucky in 1 year with undrafted players/d league call ups? I hope we get lucky once more... Also he's listed at 6'9, dfraftexpress said 6'8 and some articles say 6'10... Apparently he grows by the week!!
