26. Brian Cook - Illinois. 6'10" 240. PF, SR.
2002-03 Big 10 Player of the Year. ...Good hands, and soft touch. Led the Big 10 in scoring as a SR. becoming the first Illinois player to do that since Kendall Gill in 1990. Tough to handle around the basket. He runs, and has post skills. He likes to shoot from the outside which is actually a bit of a detriment to his game. I'd rather see him inside, and stepping out to high post. He likes to shoot the three. ...At the end of the day - the guy is 20 points, 7 boards, and 2 assists. Right handed. Abuses smaller players in the post. ...When he is aggressive offensively he is effective. He can stick the C-Webb 15'-17' jumper without hesitation. ...Doesn't jump that well and is slow.
