INTRODUCTION
Jalen Cook is a good combo guard with excellent scoring skills and a decent ability as a point guard. A player who is perhaps undersized but who manages to make his presence felt on the court with offensive plays of excellent value. During his time in college he averaged almost 15 points in his career with not always great minutes. He certainly has an excellent 3-point shot that he must try to maintain over time if he wants to have any chance of obtaining prestigious positions. Excellent free throw shooter where he almost reaches 80%.
Given his physique he should focus more on this aspect of the game, perhaps improving some movements to obtain a few more fouls. It is precisely in the fouls that he finds one of his weak points on the defensive side, a little undisciplined in the rush to steal big balls he often commits a few too many infractions. As mentioned, in shooting he has excellent skills but he must understand better when to look for unmarked teammates or when to go to the basket.
Jalen Cook is definitely a player with several points in his hands if put in a position to express his talent without limitations.
