Suns' Derek Cooke: Signs contract with Suns
Cooke signed a non-guaranteed contract with the Suns on Sunday.
Analysis:
After going undrafted in 2015, Cooke spent his first pro season with the Suns' former D-League affiliate, the Bakersfield Jam. Over 23.4 minutes per game, Cooke averaged 4.8 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.1 assists. Though the 6-foot-9 big man out of Wyoming will attend training camp, Cooke has little chance of making the Suns' roster and will more realistically compete for a spot with the organization's new D-League affiliate, the Northern Arizona Suns.
