About Damarcus
Expert Analysis
Paul Hernandez | Prep Hoops Scout
The 6-foot-3 combo guard has a physical frame, keeps relentless pressure on the defense when attacking the basket, can space the floor from beyond the arc, and impacts various aspects of the game on both ends of the court. The Cougars were short-handed at the Meet in the Middle Showcase, and Cobb stepped up big and had two stellar showings in the two games I was in person for, going for 23 points, 6 assists, and 5 rebounds in a two-point loss to event hosts Bakersfield Christian, followed by 27 points, 4 assists, and 2 steals to make a push against Pacifica Christian of Newport, who were up by 23 points going into the 4th quarter. Cobb would score 16 of his game-high 27, making some incredible shots with high degrees of difficulty. Cobb has a strong handle on the ball, keeps the dribble alive to probe the defense, uses the crossover, between cross, and behind cross to get his defender off balance, gets pain touches routinely using his strong build to bully his way past his initial defender, the court vision to make quality reads off the drive and kick pass, and the frame to absorb and finish through contact around the basket, earning him trips to the line on the regular. Cobb is accurate on the stop-and-pop jumper, gets good lift to shoot over taller defenders, and is accurate with the 3-ball off the bounce or the catch. Cobb is able to get his jumper off in tight windows, which leads to him drawing fouls from the 3-point line, which happened several times over the two days I watched the Cougars play. Cobb has the physical build to hold up against bigger players on switches, is solid on the glass to get putbacks or push the pace of play, and has active hands defending on the ball.
