He’s been overshadowed his entire career, but there is one thing that no one can deny about Quinn Cook, he is a winner.
He was overlooked coming out of Oak Hill Academy. Cook was ranked as the No. 38 player on ESPN, the fourth-ranked Duke signee behind No. 2 Austin Rivers, No. 29 Michael Gbijnie, and No. 35 Marshall Plumlee.
Cook’s career at Duke was a roller coaster despite his steady play on the court.
In 2011-12 Cook only averaged 4.4 points per game while shooting 40.5% from the floor.
Duke finished the regular season at 26-5, 13-3 in the ACC, but after a quarterfinal win against Virginia Tech in the ACC Tournament, the Blue Devils would fail to win a game for the rest of the season, losing to Flordia State in the semifinals of the ACC Tournament and to Lehigh in the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament.
