Coaching the Next Generation (Daequan Cook Vids)

(Daequan Cook - OKC Thunder Youth Camp/late July 2010)

Every now and then we like to make note of the constant prevalence of our Buckeyes in the community. From Lawrence Thunderburke to Katie Smith & Michael Redd, several past & present Ohio State players take the time out of their personal schedules to interact & share knowledge in youth basketball camps and seminars.

Shooting guard Daequan Cook took part in the Oklahoma City Thunder Youth Camp at the Boys & Girls Club of Oklahoma City County on July 27th. Cook spoke to the media after the camp in what amounted to a de-facto post trade opening press conference (Video -Interview). Daequan shared his thoughts on fitting in with OKC and desire to expand his individual game. He added that the slower pace of Oklahoma City (in contrast to Miami) will keep him more focused. On being traded, Cook joked that he was traded for Lebron James :) - Daequan flew to Columbus the next day to join Mike Conley Jr. for another youth Basketball camp.
