So you don't understand the difference between frontcourt and backcourt?
...Kispert is a frontcourt player, that means he's not a guard and doesn't fit into the discussion. Feel free to start another discussion about under-experienced front courts and we can certainly consider Corey.

As for Cook, do you really think he'll start ahead of Suggs, Ayayi or Harris? I know you're desperately looking for a way to save face at this point in the discussion you started but I don't think anyone with a reasonable basketball mind thinks Cook will start ahead of a 5 star top 10 recruit like Suggs (he wouldn't have come to Gonzaga if that was the case).

Feel free to show me something that indicates Cook is looked at to be part of the starting back court and we can certainly then look at fitting him into this discussion. However, here's what Slipperstillfits.com says about Cook: "Cook should slide into the role Gonzaga was searching to fill. They needed an experienced lead guard off the bench to spell Jalen Suggs and preferably keep Joel Ayayi and Dominick Harris off the ball."

or BustingBrackets.com: "This particular grad transfer could’ve gone many places for a chance to start but opted for what likely will be a backup role, assuming that sophomore Joel Ayayi decides to return to Gonzaga for next season. That’s because five-star point guard prospect Jalen Suggs will get the nod to lead the offense and should have a huge freshmen campaign.

So, it doesn't sound like anyone with basketball sense thinks Cook will be part of the starting back court at Gonzaga ahead of Suggs. But hey, he could be the next Geno Crandall for you guys so there's that. Feel free to start a discussion about under-experienced role players on the bench and we can include Cook in that.
