A 6 ft 6 in (1.98 m) forward from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Cook began his collegiate career at Northwest Florida State College. He redshirted a year after originally committing to Iowa State men's basketball.

In his three years at Oregon, Cook scored 1,259 points.[3]
Professional career
After going undrafted in the 2016 NBA draft, Cook joined the Sacramento Kings for the 2016 NBA Summer League. On September 16, 2016, he signed with the Golden State Warriors.[4] However, he was later waived by the Warriors on October 9 after appearing in two preseason games.[5] On October 31, 2016, he was acquired by the Santa Cruz Warriors of the NBA Development League as an affiliate player of Golden State.[6]
