2021 NBA Draft Profile: If he falls to them could Sharife Cooper be a fit in Denver?

Sharife Cooper out of Auburn is another big time guard prospect in a class that is loaded with them. Cooper stands out from the pack as one of the best floor generals in this years class who possesses an ability to not just get his teammates involved, but also score the ball at will.

Cooper averaged 20.2 points per game as a freshman and dished out 8.1 assists per game which is pretty remarkable. This all came after Cooper missed the first 11 games of Auburn’s season due to an investigation by the NCAA regarding his eligibility. Cooper was finally granted permission to play January 9th against Alabama in a game he scored 26 points and dished out nine assists.
