The NBA acclimatisation of former Sydney King Xavier Cooks was on full display on Wednesday (Australian time) during the Washington Wizards' clash with the Milwaukee Bucks.
The NBL23 MVP, in just his seventh appearance for the Wizards, posted numerous career-high marks at the Capital One Arena, including minutes (26) and points (eight on 4/5 shooting from the field) - as well as equalling the marks in rebounds (two) and assists (one).
