ANALYSIS
Cooks averaged 3.8 points and 3.8 rebounds in 12.6 minutes per game over 10 appearances with the Wizards in 2022-23 after coming over late in the season following a productive stint in the Australian National Basketball League. Despite Cooks being under club control through 2025-26 at a cost-effective price, the Wizards apparently didn't see enough upside in the 28-year-old to make him worth keeping around as frontcourt depth.
