Cook

(on the workout)
It was a great workout. You know, a lot of running…a lot of shots going up…a lot of one-on-one competition. I just try to come in here and show what I can do.

(on the draft getting closer)
I’m ready to get all of these workouts done with and go home and spend Draft day with my family and friends and keep my fingers crossed and leave it in God’s hands.

(on what he’s heard on where he might go)
I don’t know. It’s so up in the air right now. You don’t know until that day.

(on what he knows about the Hornets)
I don’t know too much about them. I watched all of basketball. I don’t have a favorite team or anything that I watch so I watched them a few times. They’re athletic, quick, can run the floor and hopefully I’ll be a part of it.

(on how he will fit in the NBA)
I think I can play on the inside and outside and show both sides of my game. I think I can shoot pretty well and pass the ball. I think I’ve got a pretty good basketball IQ. I think I could help a team out a lot.

(on if he would consider it a slide if he were picked at 18)
I’m just waiting to get my name called. I don’t care. I’m just happy to have the opportunity to be invited to the workouts and this is just a blessing for me.

Floyd

(on Brian Cook)
Very interesting prospect in that he’s the right height, the right type of athleticism, kind of like the new wave fours that you see in this league in terms of the rangey type of four. I think in the old days in the NBA, they all looked like (Charles) Oakley: 6-8, rugged, 250, 260 but the new wave four is a guy who’s mobile, that’s versatile enough to play inside or outside. He’s skilled enough to do all of those things. I think he’s going to be a fine NBA player.

Bass

(on the workouts)
We had Brian Cook in and we had (Jerome) Beasley back for a second look and they’re both within a quarter of an inch of each other so we had good size out there. Both of them are 6-10 with their shoes on. Both had good workouts again and I’m sure they’re going to be drafted somewhere. (Brian Cook) is a skilled player. He’s a very skilled player. He’s got good size and he shoots the ball outside. I would say he’s got skills.
