Cook was the Chargers second leading scorer last season, averaging 11.2 PPG to go along with 2.1 APG while shooting a team leading 40.1% from behind the three-point line. After two seasons with the Chargers Cook has moved into the Cypress College top 10 all-time for career 3PT FG made, 3PT FG attempted, 3PT FG%, and FT%. Cook was a knockdown shooter for Cypress, making as many as nine three-pointers in a single game, "It's the best feeling ever when your shot is on" said Cook.
