54 points, 12/15 away!

Landing a month ago in China, Quinn Cook wasted no time in putting the CBA and the Chinese fans at her feet. The former leader of the Warriors has just signed a crazy match at 54 points including 12/15 from the parking lot!

We found the trace of Quinn Cook! No longer appeared on an NBA floor since March 2021 and an anecdotal passage to the Cavs, the guard has obviously found a welcoming land where he can shine. Quickly passing through Russia last year, Cook joined the Chinese team Zhejiang Guangsha Lions in CBA in November. A few weeks later, the double NBA champion (2018 with the Warriors and 2020 with the Lakers) has already made a name for himself in China. While playing only his third match with his new club, Quinn Cook burned the string with a monstrous performance: 54 points at 18/24 shooting including 12/15 from a distance in… 28 minutes! No player has done better this season in the CBA according to CGTN Sports Scene.

As always, China remains a paradise for NBA players looking for playing time and responsibility. For example, we had seen Jimmer Fredette average 37 points for 3 years there. So obviously the difference in level between NBA and CBA is abysmal but it is an opportunity for some not to be forgotten and to obtain a role that they would never have in the Great League. With 31 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists on average in 3 games, the former Duke could also redo the icing in the Middle Kingdom before perhaps receiving a phone call from an NBA team. Why don’t the Lakers like, who had cut it at the start of 2021 and who are always looking for a few shooters to add to their squad. With almost 41% from afar in 188 NBA games, he is indeed someone who could be of some service. To see if Rob Pelinka will be tempted.

Quinn Cook is having a blast in China and at the pace he is going local fans are quick to compare him to Stephen Curry. From end of bench in NBA to star in CBA, there is obviously only one step.
