The next player in our annual OKC Thunder prospect profile series Intentions looks at is Auburn guard Sharife Cooper.

One of if not the best passers in the class of 2021, Cooper will draw attention to teams seeking to add playmakers and reserve point guards. Cooper had a stellar high school career and transitioned well into the NCAA to become a scoring threat for Auburn in his freshman season.

Auburn utilized a fast-paced offense that allowed Cooper to shine and NBA teams with a similar scheme will want to take a long hard look at the Georgia native.
