Elgin Rashad Cook (born January 15, 1993) is an American professional basketball player for the Santa Cruz Warriors of the NBA G League. The son of former Milwaukee Bucks guard Alvin Robertson, he played college basketball for Northwest Florida and Oregon.
A 6 ft 6 in (1.98 m) forward from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Cook began his collegiate career at Northwest Florida State College. He redshirted a year after originally committing to Iowa State men's basketball. As a sophomore, he transferred to Oregon since his father was friends with one of Oregon's assistant coaches. He earned second-team All-Pac-12 honors as a junior. As a senior, Cook averaged 14.8 points and 5.1 rebounds per game and earned first-team All-Pac-12 honors. He was named Pac-12 Tournament MVP after averaging 17.3 points and 5.3 rebounds per game in the tournament. He helped Oregon achieve a 31–7 record and reach the Elite Eight while leading the team in steals with 54. In his three years at Oregon, Cook scored 1,259 points.
After going undrafted in the 2016 NBA draft, Cook joined the Sacramento Kings for the 2016 NBA Summer League. On September 16, 2016, he signed with the Golden State Warriors. However, he was later waived by the Warriors on October 9 after appearing in two preseason games. On October 31, 2016, he was acquired by the Santa Cruz Warriors of the NBA Development League as an affiliate player of Golden State.
