Summary:
Tyler Cook is a big man that declared to enter the 2018 NBA Draft before deciding to withdraw and return to school. He is an effective inside scorer that averaged 15.3 points per game last year, but he may need to improve in the other facets of the game. Right now, he may be a borderline second round pick for the 2019 draft.
