played with toughness, a high motor, and a strong feel for the game, showing an understanding of spacing, cutting, and when to leak out, allowing him to score efficiently within the flow of the offense. He knocked down catch-and-shoot threes in transition and half-court settings, finished at the basket for and-ones, added putbacks, and converted baseline floaters after beating closeouts. Cobb’s offensive instincts consistently put him in the right spots at the right time. In the open court, his speed and explosiveness made him impossible to slow down or stop at the rim.

Explosive and relentless, Cobb went through every drill with hard, purposeful movements, whether it was ball-handling, shooting off the dribble, or defensive slides. In live action, he lit up the scoreboard, standing out as the only player to score for his team in the first 5v5 scrimmage by drilling two deep three-pointers, one off the dribble and one off the catch, not to mention his buckets inside. He finished through heavy traffic with soft touch around the rim. Cobb attacked with a dog-like mentality, going at his opponents all day. Defensively, Cobb Jr. impressed coaches and scouts with his effort, staying low in his stance, icing ball-handlers, forcing players to their weak hand, and shutting down driving lanes with toughness.

was one of the weekend’s biggest breakout prospects, standing out as one of the most well-rounded players in the gym. He’s a pure combo guard who showed advanced ball control and footwork, making him equally dangerous as a facilitator or shot creator. This kid displayed flashes of elite scoring potential the moment the ball touched his hands, as he pump-faked into a baseline attack before jump-stopping for a two-foot float with soft touch. This proved to be a continuous pattern for him as he made the majority of his plays off two feet, scoring in bunches with floaters and balanced layups. Off the ball, Cobb Jr. was a knockdown shooter who consistently created extra space for his teammates to drive with his impressive movement, drifting to corners for catch-and-shoot threes or baseline cuts. As a dribbler, he didn’t see a press he couldn’t break, playing with low, tight dribbles and precise trap splits. Instinctive passer, dropping dimes on time and on target with a high level of difficulty often threading the needle. Defensively, his motor was relentless, crashing the glass, diving on the floor and out of bounds for loose balls, unafraid to sacrifice his body for the play.
