He might transfer to the next level as a 3, but I'm putting him here because of the matchup nightmare he's be for Cass Tech if a big 4 was covering him. Cooper is an exciting above the rim finisher and he gets off the ground in a hurry. He's very comfortable working out of the corner where he could draw a post player away from the rim and attack.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"edit"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#2</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6308c2a8e118b","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1112302"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Wedlow came into high school as a raw but very talented post player.
