After spearheading a late comeback over the Grizzlies with 10 points, 3 assists, and some feisty defensive ball pressure, Sharife Cooper deadpanned that he wanted to be a shot in the arm for the Hawks.
"I definitely want to be an energy boost for the team. I know we've got a lot of old guys," he told Lauren Jbara of Bally Sports Southeast.
How young is Cooper? The 20-year-old doesn't have any first-hand memories of the assistant coach who has worked with him most. Cooper was just 4 years old when Nick Van Exel played his final NBA game.
