Marques Bolden isn’t the only NBA Blue Devil the Cleveland Cavaliers parted ways with this season. Like Bolden, Quinn Cook is still on the lookout for a new franchise to call home. Unlike Bolden, Cook is a two-time NBA champ (with the Golden State Warriors in 2018 and then the Los Angeles Lakers last year).
A 2015 Duke basketball national champ from Washington, D.C., Cook has been a respected member of every bench he’s been on in the league since going undrafted after cutting down nets as a senior (he didn’t earn a spot on a roster until 2016-17). But could this be the end of his road in the NBA? As is the case with Bolden, we’ll just have to wait and see.
