Today we are continuing our #NBARookieWeek series on the Denver Nuggets’ rookies with a conversation with forward Tyler Cook, who joins Denver after going undrafted back in June.
Cook is a 6’9” forward who appeared in three games for the Nuggets’ Las Vegas Summer League team. The 21-year-old forward averaged 4.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals per game in 11.3 minutes per contest. Cook played three seasons for the University of Iowa where he averaged 14.1 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game in 93 total games (92 starts).
Cook can thrive as an energy big who is active defensively and attacks the glass.
