Darwin Cook was drafted by the Detroit Pistons but was unable to crack the roster.  The Nets took a chance on him and he was able to make the team and he would average over 11 Points per Game in his first three seasons.  Cook was not special in terms of scoring but he was very adept defensively.  He would finish in the top ten in Steals per Game three times as a Net peaking at fifth in the 1982/83 season.
