Derek RuckerGUEST
It was a back-and-forth game.
Derek RuckerGUEST
Xavier Cooks was playing his dominant best, and I thought Rukosevic did a good job.
Derek RuckerGUEST
He wasn't as brilliant as he has been because the Sixers took a lot of three-point attempts in that game, so Rukosevic didn't get the usage that he's been getting throughout early in the season, but he was still good enough.
Derek RuckerGUEST
To the Perth

Derek RuckerGUEST
And welcome back to the NBL, Trevor Gleason, because it had a feeling like, okay, I need to do something as a coach to make a change here to affect my team in a positive way.
Derek RuckerGUEST
The defense, finally someone shows two bodies and they put extra pressure on Kendrick Davis.
Derek RuckerGUEST
Look, Xavier Cooks had a really good game, but overall, a very effective defensive executed game plan.
Derek RuckerGUEST
And I thought having Bryce Cotton on the basketball more was better for their offense.
DerryGUEST
Their schedule opens up really well.
DerryGUEST
I think Xavier Cooks has still got to be a – He's such a high volume usage and he doesn't turn the ball over that much.
HughsyHOST
No, no. He's had three out of four scores above 30 as well now.
HughsyHOST
Yeah.
MetricsHOST
I tell you what, we've gone rogue this episode.
MetricsHOST
Um, Xavier Cooks, um-
HammerHOST
35
MetricsHOST
... winner, 35 super coach points, uh, coming in at that sort of late 200s with a, with a great schedule coming up.
HammerHOST
Is this just a good player down on his luck, and is the tide turning? Because if it is, it is the perfect time for that tide to turn, and we can ride a four games streaker doubles, or three games at least.
MetricsHOST
Yeah, I'm, I'm interested.
MetricsHOST
Like, like all these people that have been holding Cheatham and Pinder and everything like that, Xavier Cooks is just as, just as good as that.
MetricsHOST
Uh, seems perfect sideways.
Derek RuckerHOST
It was a back-and-forth game.
Derek RuckerHOST
Xavier Cooks was playing his dominant best, and I thought Rakocevic did a good job.
Derek RuckerHOST
He wasn't as brilliant as he has been-
Jack HeverinHOST

The big X-Man nails it.

speaker_5UNKNOWN
It'll be cleaned out by Xavier Cooks.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Oh, Cooks on the lone.
Olgun UlucHOST
He's an elite player on the floor.
Olgun UlucHOST
But just because you don't score the ball doesn't mean – we've had Xavier Cooks have games where he's 10-3-3.
Olgun UlucHOST
And it's like, oh, you are one of the best players on the floor.
Olgun UlucHOST
You're clearly – the way you're impacting this game is like – is up there with anyone in the league.

Olgun UlucHOST
But I'll just say that they did not like their schedule.
Olgun UlucHOST
The reason, Jace, why I think their role clarity is so easy to do... is because of guys like Xavier and Dele.
Olgun UlucHOST
Xavier Cooks, Matthew Delvedova, who are functionally your superstars.
Olgun UlucHOST
These are two boomers, right? Two marquee players.
Josh HigginsGUEST
I think the best part with them is they've got a little bit of a level still to go.
Josh HigginsGUEST
I think they haven't really seen the best from Xavier Cooks.
Josh HigginsGUEST
Tory Craig has been consistent without being an absolute superstar for them.
Josh HigginsGUEST
And, you know, they've still got a very young roster as well that's still fine in their feet.
Josh HigginsGUEST
I think the best part with them is they've got a little bit of a level still to go.
Josh HigginsGUEST
I think they haven't really seen the best from Xavier Cooks.
Josh HigginsGUEST
Tory Craig has been consistent without being an absolute superstar for them and they've still got a very young roster as well that's still fine in their feet.
Josh HigginsGUEST
So I think they've got another level to go to and I think that also makes it exciting for not only the Sydney Kings and their supporters but also I guess the rest of the league as well.
Tracy MaloneHOST
Yep.
Tracy MaloneHOST
And as per usual, Xavier Cooks just had an all-round great game.
Cameron PawluckHOST
Yeah.
Tracy MaloneHOST
12 points, seven rebounds, two steals, two blocks.
Tracy MaloneHOST
He kind of got out there and did everything-
Cameron PawluckHOST
Yeah
Tracy MaloneHOST
... which is Xavier Cooks' way of doing things.
Tracy MaloneHOST
Tory Craig, 10 points, six rebounds.
Nik LackovicGUEST
It's the elite level skills.
Nik LackovicGUEST
playmaking on the defensive side of the ball between Xavier Cooks, Adele, Torrey Craig and a car who were able to break that connection.
Nik LackovicGUEST
And you saw Brisbane got away from Sydney early in that first quarter.
Nik LackovicGUEST
They scored 34 points.
