Will Quinn Cook be back in a Los Angeles Lakers uniform in 2021?

Quinn Cook was brought in to the Los Angeles Lakers organization in the 2019 offseason. He was part of a flurry of moves the team was making to help improve shooting. The team got him on a two-year $6 million deal, with the 2020-21 season partially guaranteed at $1 million.

Cook has made a career out of spacing the floor, he’s never lit up the scoreboard but he’s shot the ball at a good clip. He is one of the few that has been able to hang around the league as an undrafted free agent. It’s good to see guys like that making the most of the opportunity.

He has shot at a 40.7% clip from 3-pointer in his career which is a very good number. He has done that on 2.5 attempts per game and at 15 minutes per game. He has played in 165 career games and has made 169 in his career, so just over a tick of one per game.

The Lakers will need to get better to repeat in 2021, they can’t expect to stay constructed the same and get the same results. The West will get even better this year and Rob Pelinka will need to get to work immediately improving the roster.

The Lakers were able to win the 2020 championship with inconsistent play around their superstar duo of LeBron and AD. So they will need to find guys to help gel around them and lighten the workloads of each.

We take a look at the buy, sell and trade stock of Cook. Making a case for each of them as his guarantee date approaches.
