Against third-seeded Marquette in the second round of the 2013 NCAA Tournament, the 6-10 forward led all scorers with a game-high 20 points.

Cohen will play for the Phoenix Suns' Summer League squad in Las Vegas July 12-22.

Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv Head Coach David Blatt on Cohen
"We have had our eye on Jake throughout his college career and of course while he was playing for Israel's U-20 National Team. Jake is a multi-layered big man who can play and contribute from both the 4 and 5. He has an excellent offensive game both in and out of the paint, along with excellent shooting skills. Keep in mind that he is a young player who needs time to develop, but there is no doubt that this player has tremendous potential."
