Following the conclusion of the 2022 NBA Draft, the Los Angeles Lakers signed Syracuse stretch-4 Cole Swider to a two-way contract, attempting to address one clear roster deficiency: perimeter shooting.
Before turning pro, Swider’s shooting was arguably on its greatest display against the University of North Carolina when he dropped 36 points while shooting 7-11 on attempts from behind the arc.
That shooting has translated over to the Summer League thus far with the Portsmouth native sizzling from distance, hitting an unbelievable 19 of his 36 shots from deep.
When you see Swider’s jumper, it immediately stands out as a particularly “pretty” one — as numerous commentators have noted — with his form and mechanics flowing quite well.
