Cooper rhymes with HOOPER, and no matter what the setting is, club basketball, Pro Skills Houston, high school basketball, CE King, or even INDIVIDUAL SHOWCASES, she stands out, most recently gave me a lot at the PGH The Expo see evaluations here

Cooper rhymes with Super Duper and her steadiness on both ends during the 3 on 3 was just a warm-up as she facilitated nicely and set her teammates up for good looks. When the “bright lights” came on, aka 5 on 5, her “on the ball” pressure was smothering at times yet seeing her go full speed with the ball, SWB, while being pressured and staying under control was huge as she went coast to coast to score or dish. Her jumper looked good, stop and pop, as well as “catch and shoot”, and she scored off the dribble. Oh yeah, she played the passing lane

Cooper also falls into that group of guards who does a good job applying heat on both ends. She saw the floor as good as anyone at the event, and her blistering passes between defenders from 20-plus feet away got me going. She also gave me the “catch and shoot” from mid to long range, scored off the dribble, and played the passing lane

#91 (Up from #110)
Cooper has been impressive all season and has made numerous Tip Sheets from last season see evaluations here and one of the things I enjoy about her game is that she goes hard on both ends. Her defensive pressure in the set as well as baseline to baseline is solid yet she is showing she can score by attacking and finishing acrobatically as well as dropping the jumper with a hand in her face

Cooper has made multiple Tip Sheets this season starting with one the day after my birthday yet my present is seeing her change the momentum of the game multiple times for her squad. She can score in the flow or get in the groove and score in droves but she’s also an athletic guard who uses her athleticism on both ends see evaluations here

Cooper keeps my eyes glued to her every move on the court for numerous reasons starting with the fact that she’s a “long and athletic” guard, that also falls into “the base” She’s also a #sizedontmatter guard who creates issues on both ends. Her “on the ball” pressure is solid but she can also drop the “catch and shoot” from deep with a hand in her face. Her blistering passes in traffic are also a plus

Cooper grabbed my attention last season see evaluation here so I guess I can’t use the “AC” line again other than adding “freon” has been refilled. She falls into that #sizedontmatter category and she gave them a tremendous boost with her energy, on both ends, as well as dropping the jumper, “catch and shoot” from deep included. She also scored off the dribble and played solid defense
