Tyler Cook

Tyler Cook signed a replacement two-way contract with the Nuggets, after appearing in only 11 games with the Cleveland Cavaliers this season.

Fantasy Impact

After being released by the Nuggets in October of last year, Cook found himself in familiar territory as he inked his new replacement two-way contract with the organization for the remainder of the 2019-20 season. His familiarity with the team played a significant role in landing him the opportunity, as the Nuggets wanted to take players, they could trust into the “bubble.” In his stint with the Cavaliers this season, he appeared in only 11 games and averaged 1.7 points, .9 rebounds, .1 assists, and 3.2 minutes of playing time per game. Although his professional contribution was below minimal, his performance in the G-League was more substantial. Cook played in 29 games with Oklahoma City Blue and averaged 12.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game. There does not seem to be any clear pathway for Cook to see purposeful playing time in the Nuggets’ rotation, thus making him an easy fade for fantasy purposes.

F Tyler Cook is expected to sign a two-way deal with the Denver Nuggets ahead of the 2019-20 NBA season restart.

Fantasy Impact

Cook spent most of the 2019-20 season with the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Canton Charge of the NBA G League. The former Iowa Hawkeye was a member of the Nuggets summer league team last year. He’ll round out the roster for Denver as they head into the “bubble” in Disney World.

Tyler Cook produced zero points (0-1 FG) across two minutes in the Cavs’ 115-100 win over the Pistons on Monday.

Fantasy Impact

The rookie from Iowa saw the court for his 10th NBA game Monday night, missing his only shot attempt in the big victory. He's playing on his second 10-day contract and has averaged just 1.9 points and 0.9 boards across 3.4 minutes in his brief run with Cleveland thus far.

The Denver Nuggets came to terms with undrafted power forward Tyler Cook on a two-way deal in August.

Fantasy Impact

Cook played three seasons for the Iowa Hawkeyes, averaging 14 points, six rebounds, and one assist during his tenure. Now in the NBA, his role on the Nuggets will start off small. As of right now, monitor his playing time for Denver during the beginning of the season. He's not a fantasy worthy pickup yet.
