Tyler Cook not invited to NBA combine
- Thread starter Colonel Homer
- Start date
Yeah, his physical measurables were pretty good (he came in at 6'7.25 only though) but his athletic measurements were surprisingly poor relative to everyone else.
Did anyone see if he played in any scrimmages or how he did?
I have heard he played well in the scrimmages (a local reporter) but those numbers are shocking.
Yeah, he's now appearing as an undersized 4 with average athleticism relative to his peers. I know watching his film doesn't show that but teams will see those numbers and hesitate.
If he had a reliable jumper, consistent on the block fundamentals, or even showed a prowess for aggressive rebounding he could make up for it. I hope he gets a shot but now almost assuredly going to be as a free agent.
Think it's hilarious cook doesn't know iowas fight song and also has never heard of in heaven there is no beer. Nick baer gonna discipline him
Not that good. But not absolutely horrible for a PF. Taj Gibson had 25.5 and 30 and he’s making good money in a decent career. Most good NBA PFs are coming into the league with a standing vert around 30” or higher. So his athleticism will be questioned.
That problem is compounded by is his height, 6’7.25”, which will put him on the shorter side of the PFs in the draft. He did do decently in the footspeed tests for a PF though, 4th, 5th, and 8th in different tests. And was actually quicker than Brazdeikis(SF) in two of them.

Tyler had a good 2nd scrimmage on Friday. just over 18 min. led both teams in rebounds with 7 and offensive rebounds with 4. Had 3 assists, but also 3 turnovers. He did what he's going to be asked to do, and that wasn't shooting jumpers. in the 2 games in Chicago.

Would love love to see a Tyler’s dream come true. Fran really let him have freedom to showcase his skills that most coaches would not of given him.
