    Sharife Cooper

    Washington Wizards

    Guard

    Once a hyped-up prospect at Auburn, Cooper has slipped out of people’s minds. He was drafted 48th overall but played sparingly in just one NBA season before falling out of the league. The little guard spent 2024-25 with three different international clubs, averaging 12.2 points and 3.6 assists.
