Zach Cooks is a compact, high-motor creator who brings scoring, playmaking, and disruption
Cooks has been a proven impact guard at Hofstra, where he averaged 12.2 points, 3.0 assists, and 1.6 steals per game in his final college season, and his earlier NJIT resume showed he could also carry a larger offensive load while leading the ASUN in scoring and steals in 2021-22.[6][7] The appeal is his combination of quick-twitch pressure defense, downhill pace, and competitive edge rather than pure size; at 5-11, he wins with timing, toughness, and savvy, which makes him a strong fit for teams that value urgency, point-of-attack defense, and a guard who can both initiate and disrupt.[1][6][7]
