Iowa Basketball: Tyler Cook Wasn’t Taken in the NBA Draft, But Here Are 7 of His Best Dunks Anyway

The 2019 NBA Draft has come and gone. While we all knew Tyler Cook was a long shot to be drafted, he was an incredibly talented player. He brought strength and athleticism to the Hawkeyes in a way few others have.

Despite being undrafted, Cook’s NBA chances aren’t dead. There will be a flurry of free agent signings over the next several days and Cook is almost a lock to get an invite to the NBA’s summer league. It remains unlikely he makes an NBA roster without some improvement in a few key areas, but he’s sure to be a lot of fun to watch wherever he lands.

In appreciation of Cook’s time at Iowa, here’s a look back at 7 monster dunks from the St. Louis native.

Illinois has a lot of things. Athletes? Yes. Defense? No.

6. Chicago (is not a) State

I-L-L! I-N-I!

Play.

No.

4. Tyler, That Guy Has a Family

RIP, my dude

3. Have a Seton Hall

This was an early sign Tyler Cook was going to be appointment TV.

2. One and One Makes Two

If Cook had a consistent outside jumper, this seems like it would be a nightly thing at the next level.

Speaking of skills that could get you to the next level, if Cook could consistently handle the ball like this, he would be making big time money. When he did, it was a thing of beauty.

That is all.

Farewell Mr. Cook. You’ll be greatly missed. Best of luck on your journey to catch on at the next level.
