With Cook as point guard , the Warriors recorded 31 wins in only four losses in their first season.

Cook received several awards during his high school years. After his junior season, the Washington Post named him “All-Met Player of the Year 2010” , making him the first junior player to receive this award in 30 years.

NBA and G-League

Canton Charge and Dallas Mavericks (2015-2017)

Cook signed up for the 2015 NBA draft , but was not included. In the Orlando Summer League 2015 he played for the Oklahoma City Thunder , then he played in the Las Vegas Summer League for the Cleveland Cavaliers .

In September 2015, a contract was signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers, but he was released in October 2015 without having played a game for the team. However, he then joined the Caveliers' development team, Canton Charge , and thus ran into the G-League development league . There he completed 43 games for Canton Charge in the 2015/16 season, 37 of them as a starter. He put on an average of 19.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.2 steals. On February 5, 2016, Cook was subsequently appointed to the G-League All-Star Game to replace the injured DeAndre Liggins . In April of the same year, he received the G-League's Rookie of the Year award. He was also elected to the All-NBA Development League Team and the All-Rookie Team at the end of the season.

After Cook had played again in the NBA Summer League in July 2016 , he signed a contract with the New Orleans Pelicans in September of that year , but was released in October after only three preparation games. At the beginning of November he therefore rejoined the Canton Charge.

In February 2017, Cook again took part in the All-Star Game of the Development League and was voted Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the match after adding 18 points and twelve assists.

This made the Dallas Mavericks aware of him, so that he was able to sign a ten-day contract with that team on February 26th. The following day, Cook made his NBA debut for the Mavericks. As a bench player, he completed 17 minutes and scored 2 points, 2 assists and 2 rebounds. Cook stood in five games for the Mavericks on the floor. After the contract expired, Cook returned to the Canton Charge development league for the time being.

New Orleans Pelicans (2017)

A few weeks after his first NBA games for the Dalles Mavericks there was another ten-day contract for Cook, this time with the New Orleans Pelicans, which was extended to the rest of the season after the ten days. Cook initially convinced as a supplementary player and scored 22 points in the 101: 123 defeat against the Golden State Warriors in April. On July 25, however, he was released by the Pelicans after only nine missions.

Golden State / Santa Cruz Warriors (2017-2019)

In the run-up to the 2017/18 season , Cook participated in the training of the Atlanta Hawks , but was not included in the squad for the regular season . In October 2017, he signed a two-way contract with the Golden State Warriors , which allowed him to play for both that NBA team and for the California development team, the Santa Cruz Warriors . Cook played 33 NBA games, 18 of which he played as part of the starting line-up. On average, he scored 9.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 0.4 steals. He achieved his season high of 30 points in a game against the Milwaukee Bucks . Injuries to the regular guard Stephen Curry meant that Cook got a permanent place in the rotation and became an important player for the Warriors. He was therefore offered a two-year contract in April 2018, which he signed. The Warriors confidently reached the playoffs, in which Cook acted as a banker. You reached the NBA finals series after you had eliminated the Houston Rockets in the Conference Finals of the Western Conference . In the final series you faced the Cleveland Cavaliers around superstar LeBron James , who you defeated 4-0. Thus Cook won his first NBA championship.

In the following season Cook was in 74 games for the Warriors on the floor, including ten games as a starter. He averaged 6.9 points per game, plus 2.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists. The Warriors reached the NBA Finals again, but had to admit defeat to Kawhi Leonard by the Toronto Raptors in six games . After that season, Cook went without a contract

Like his final opponent Leonard, who moved to the Los Angeles Clippers , Cook also moved to Los Angeles for the new season , where he joined the Lakers . Here he became a teammate of two other final opponents from previous years, namely LeBron James, whom he had met in the victorious series against the Cleveland Caveliers, and Danny Green , who had moved from Toronto to Los Angeles.
