Broke down Japan’s defense over and over with his size. This will boost his confidence for the bracket. – 8:37 AM Sam Vecenie @Sam_VecenieXavier Cooks is good. Have had a bunch of NBA scouts/execs ask me “yeah but what position does he play? What’s the role?”Here’s the thing: he’s just good at basketball. He knows how to play. Has an innate feel for moving off the ball into dead zones. Good defender. Passes well – 8:32 AM Kane Pitman @KanePitmanXavier Cooks is putting together a big tournament so far. One of the more productive Boomers on both ends of the floor. A long, long awaited opportunity to play for Australia in a major tournament. – 7:23 AM More on this storyline FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023: GIDDEY UP!!!! 🐎 🤠 #FIBAWC x #WinForAustralia -via Twitter / August 27, 2023 The three warm-up games against Venezuela, Brazil, and South Sudan are scheduled to take place in Melbourne on August 14, 16, and 17.
