EDGE Analysis

Cook saw some expanded playing time in the contest with E'Twaun Moore (heel) exiting early and Tyreke Evans (knee), Jrue Holiday (personal) and Quincy Pondexter (knee) also missing from the backcourt, but this performance is little more than a flash in the pan. While the former Duke standout thrived in the D-League last season, he's attending Pelicans training camp on a non-guaranteed contract, which severely limits his chances of making the 15-man roster.
