Watch a lot of NBA and some of you guys might like to know that he crushed it last night for a short handed Warriors team, 25/4/3 last night on 10-13 shooting. Has had a couple of solid games for them of late and has a real shot to stick on the roster as they enter the playoffs.

Not too bad for a kid who was undrafted and waived by non playoff teams twice last year off of 10 day contracts. We can all root for these types of success stories from kids who stick around and outwork everyone because they are told they don’t have the talent for the NBA and prove everyone wrong.

Now back to hating each other :)

Thats pretty awesome. I wish he could get on a team and stick. I love that kid. He was such a tremendous leader his senior year.

From the limited amount I have seen, 3 things stick out about his NBA game

1) Clearly his jump shot. It begins and ends with this when it comes to guards in the NBA but especially in today's NBA (Rajon Rondo). His 3 point shot is consistently falling

2) Cook is very decisive on offense. He knows where he is going with the ball and he does it instinctly. When he is off the ball his cuts and fakes are quality

Clearly the 2 above attributes are made easier on a loaded roster such as GSW

3) His defense. He is up on his man and being aggressive. Forcing his man to quickly get rid of the ball or make a move. Not allowing his man to dissect the floor for a quality pass. Also his rebounding is solid

Early in his Duke career I felt he seemed to play in molasses. I was surprised by his quickness on GSW.

I was a HUGE fan of the chef.....he was really fun to watch grow. He and Nolan are two that stick out to me as great examples of just getting better and better each year.

There is not a single team I would want unc to beat. If your scenario plays out, that would put UK in the FF and unc in the championship game. And that makes me sick just thinking about it.

I completely understand that, but I hate uk more than I do any other team. If I lived in N.C. Instead of ky, that would probably be different.

Really easy to root for Quinn. Such a humble, hardworking, persistent young man. He really matured at Duke and became one of my all-time favorites. Hope he keeps it up!
