Adrian Wojnarowski announced the New Orleans Pelicans have signed Charles Cooke to one of the league’s new two-way contracts. Cooke is a shooting guard, standing 6’-5’’ but his reach is an astounding 6’-11.5’’.
Cooke began his collegiate career with James Madison but spent his final two years of eligibility at Dayton. During his senior season, he averaged 15.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks — only 8 players averaged a line of 15/5/2.5/1/1 in the NCAA during the 2016-17 season. Also of note, Cooke’s three-point shot was remarkably consistent: 39.
