Omar Cooper is McNeese’s low-mistake table-setter with a pass-first engine
In the 2024-25 season, Omar Cooper has been a steady McNeese State guard whose value is built on distribution, ball security, and efficient finishing rather than volume scoring: he averaged 3.2 assists, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.7 points in 2024-25, with a 42.1% field-goal rate and 1.6 turnovers per game. His differentiators are a pass-first feel, solid assist production, and prior track record as a high-assist, high-efficiency connector; McNeese notes he posted a conference-best 3.8 assist-to-turnover ratio in 2023-24. He fits best as a stabilizing backcourt organizer who can keep an offense organized and maximize teammates.
