Give Cook consistent mins so we can see what he can do. But things are looking very positive for Cook.

He leans to the side too much on his jumper. If he and Spoelstra can work on that, the limit's the sky.

He kind of reminds me of Cuttino Mobley

He's bigger and more athletic than Mobley, but there are some similarities.

except Steve Francis isn't Daequan's common law spouse

You're thinking of Steve Francis.

Marbury? You mean Steve Francis, right? Or did I miss something?

Cook needs to work on consistency and how to create his own shot. If he can accomplish those two, then we have ourselves a 6th man for years. If he can't, then I see him as a Eddie House-type hot/cold scorer.

When Cook's off, he's WAY off, at times; hitting the board and nearly just grazing the rim. :-?

Consistency is definitely the key, and another thing would be to instill the same things we instilled into Damon Jones, and to STEP IN and shoot, cuz everyone knows he's going to shoot the 3, but the 2's are a bit closer, and in term, is an easier shot.

Last night was a great example of what cook can bring to this team. The kid is already a great screen runner. The guy looks like rip coming around them. But once he gets the ball he either just shots or passes it right back. The kid needs to give a quick pump fake and drive to the hoop. He also sometimes rushs his shot to much and has some Walker looking shots. he really needs to work on his footwork. In addition, I think he needs to improve his defense.The guy for his size is a above avg rebounder but on ball defense at times he gambles to much and gets the big in trouble. But overall i like the guy. He loves the game and is a big time shooter. The one thing that the nba is dying for besides big guys are shooters.
