About Alijah
Expert Analysis
Trey Erdman | Prep Hoops Scout
Cooper is extremely aggressive in his pursuit of getting to the basket and uses his athleticism to finish over top of defenders. His aggression remains persistent on the defensive end, where he is good at sliding his feet and getting a hand on the ball. Alijah will handle the rock a majority of the time during his senior year at CD East.

Cooper (19 ppg. in 2024-25) is a quick burst guard with an electric off the bounce scoring skill set. His deep bag of dribble moves enable Cooper to get to the rim for lay-ins, to his mid-range spots for pull-ups and to create space for triples. Cooper can also use his dribbles to set up his step back / fadeaway shots. He can attack the cup going to his left or right and then finish with either hand. Those filthy handles combined with his impressive end-to-end speed make Cooper a transition phenom too. Cooper’s ability to get to the hoop and then hang in the air often produces SportsCenter worthy finishes.

Cooper impressed with his ability to play at different gears on the attack. He got to different spots in the mind-range. Cooper also frequently found scoring chances for his teammates. He also showed he could score for himself. He would be a nice pickup at the small college level.
