Jalen Cook- The Rise Of An NBA Star

[yvngbull]

Senior year, coming off the bench his entire life, last year to prove himself. He has dreams of doing big and making it out the streets. He and his family have been struggling with money and he wants to be able to take care of them through a possible NBA career. He believes in himself, but scouts don’t. This year, that changes.

They were able to recruit a top 10 prospect in Roy Marsh who has been impressing scouts for a while now. They even have Ballislife and Overtime trying to check this guy out. So that means Hudson Catholic will be playing up against big teams this year. Everyone wants to see Roy Marsh but that’s all they have.

The first game that Hudson Catholic have on their schedule is a big one. They have to go up against Cole Anthony and Kofi Cockburn with Oak Hill. It’s definitely going to be a tough one for Roy and Hudson Catholic, but will they pull it off?

Jalen Cook comes in the game with about 4:29 minutes left in the first quarter. He played 16 out of 40 minutes. One flaw in the game he played was the amount of turnovers. Those did not need to happen. But for Roy Marsh he totally dominated in front of scouts, he dominated and looked like the next Shaq on the court. With 44 points and 50 rebounds, nobody could stop him, not even Oak Hill. Jalen Cook impressed scouts a little bit so they will be on the look out but it could have just been a good game. As for his coach, he was really impressed and Jalen will be the 6th man. Jalen was excited but just went back to the gym to put in more work for their next game against Spire.

Jalen Cook’s next game that he has been training for is against Lamelo and Rocket which is debatably the best backcourt in the country. Scouts from Kansas showed up and a fan in the stands screamed as Jalen shot his first free throw, “you won’t get recognition!”
Jalen took that to heart and thought it the entire game. At halftime Jalen had 14 and the same fan screamed, “still not enough!”. He got subbed out with 2 minutes left in the 3rd and got put back in with 5 minutes left in the fourth down 71-60. He remembered the fans comment, and thought about it EVERY PLAY.
He played for two minutes gave them momentum and they were up 78-72. He played lockdown defense every play and fed his teammates. He finished with 26 points, 5 rebounds, and 9 assists.
