Nils Cooper is a high-efficiency, two-way wing who can punch above his stat line
Cooper emerged as a primary scoring option for UC Davis in the 2025-26 season, averaging 12.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.5 steals while shooting 54.9% from the floor and starting 23 of 27 games.[2][16][17] His best differentiators are efficiency, defensive activity and positional versatility: he scores without forcing volume, rebounds well for a guard/wing, and disrupts possessions with steady steals production.[2][8] The main caution is perimeter shooting consistency, with his 3-point percentage lagging his overall efficiency.[2][8] If your team needs a competitive, low-ego connector who can defend, finish and do the dirty work, he fits.
