Charles Cooke agreed to a two-way contract yesterday with the New Orleans Pelicans, yet since we didn’t get a chance to follow him in the 2017 Las Vegas Summer League like Jalen Jones, a deeper dive beckons.
NBA lottery picks are far from a sure thing and second round choices infinitely more so, thus, it makes even less sense to put much hope into two-way contract players — they’re a group mostly comprised of either undrafted or regular free agents. That said, it’s the offseason, we’re still nearly several months from the start of training camp, and most importantly, there’s surprisingly a lot to like on the surface with Charles Cooke.
