Quinn Cook, in my opinion, is our WORST on-ball defender. A lot of people on this board think that Dawkins is bad, but he's a lot better than Cook.
I love what Cook brings to the team on the offensive side, but as a defender he's got a lot of work and growing to do. I think he will eventually be an incredible spark-plug player; even now he brings a lot of energy off the bench. I look for him to be an extremely good player in the future. Right now, though, he hurts us on the defensive side.
