Charles Cooke is going to be brought in to fill a specific role. Think Chris Johnson. But the thing about Charles Cooke is he is really good in a lot of areas (much more well-rounded than CJ) which makes him a nice D-League call-up option or possibly an NBA bench piece. A coach can use him to plug a lot of different holes.

Eventually, he might even carve out a bigger role. No coach is going to give him that chance initially. But he's talented enough that it wouldn't shock me to see him work his way into being a rotation player if he finds good luck (right fit), stays healthy and puts in the work. Wouldn't shock me to see him never make it either. But it'll be fun to see how it plays out.
