Five-star junior Mookie Cook is a coach’s dream. A two-way threat with an endless motor, the 6-foot-7, 200-pound wing prides himself on defense, creating for his teammates and making winning plays.

To open the Hoophall Classic in Springfield, MA this weekend, Cook finished with a team-high 16 points on 6-7 shooting and 3-4 from three to go with six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in AZ Compass Prep’s 68-46 blowout victory over National Christian.

Even in his team’s 22-point win, the five-star prospect felt he could do more.
