Cook’s contract for 2021/22 is set to become fully guaranteed five days after the free agency moratorium is lifted, according to Omari Sankofa II of The Detroit Free Press (Twitter link).
The second-year forward has appeared in 10 games since coming to Detroit, averaging 3.7 points and 3.0 rebounds in 13.5 minutes per night. He also got into four games for the Nets earlier this season. Cook had brief stops with the Cavaliers and Nuggets last season after going undrafted out of Iowa.
Cook, 23, signed his second 10-day deal with the Pistons on March 28, so it will expire at the end of Tuesday. Teams can only sign a player to two 10-day contracts in a single season.
Well deserved.
Pistons are all about the draft. A top 5 pick is a nice talent, future allstar. Their pick is top 16 protected, was traded to Rockets. Then they have two 2nd rd picks. Last yr they had best draft in NBA. Future looks bright, In 2023 they should be playing for a playoff berth.
If the Pistons get lucky, they get in the top 3. Then the future is not only bright, it’s blinding…..
