Even with the excellent track record that the Los Angeles Lakers have, not every Summer League standout is going to pan out. Unfortunately for Cole Swider, he did not join the list of breakout Lakers projects after turning heads in his Summer League debut.
Los Angeles released Swider earlier in the summer to make room for Alex Fudge on a two-way contract. This was a shock to many as Swider had a strong season for the South Bay Lakers and has the trait that every team is looking for: three-point shooting.
The former Syracuse sharpshooter was able to find a new team before the start of training camp, landing with the Miami Heat.
