Crafty ball-handler, showing creativity as a passer and dribbler as he sliced and diced defenses with wraparound and drop off passes. Every move he made led him downhill where he played with excellent instincts for when to put up a soft touch floater or swiftly kick. His touch around the rim allowed him to be unfazed by rim protectors and shot contest whether he was on or off balance. Defensively, Hooks was phenomenal at sparking fast breaks with his active hands and knack for creating turnovers on the ball as well as in the passing lanes, deflecting passes to teammates, tipping overhead throws, and even being the first to floor for loose balls.
