Sharife Cooper is a guard for the Washington Wizards, wearing number 2 and operating primarily as a backup playmaker at the point guard position. The American-born player stands 6'1" and weighs 176 lbs, playing his college ball at Auburn before entering the NBA. He was born on June 11, 2001, making him one of the younger players in the league.
Through 39 games this season, Cooper is averaging 7.3 points, 2.7 assists, and 2.0 rebounds across 16.4 minutes per game. His shooting efficiency presents some concerns, with a 40.5% field goal percentage, a 25.3% mark from three-point range, and a notably low 45.1% free throw percentage that is well below the league average for guards. His plus-minus sits at -3.4 on the season. On a rebuilding Wizards roster, Cooper sees rotational minutes as a secondary ball-handler, giving him a defined but limited role. For bettors, his prop bet profile centers on points and assists totals, where his modest averages suggest value in unders on nights when his minutes dip, while his inconsistent shooting and subpar free throw rate make scoring props particularly volatile. Assist totals in the 2 to 3 range reflect his usage most accurately given his current role and minutes floor.
