Cole Swider: Pistons

[Orangezoo]

He might be getting tired. He runs the court hard.

Yeah for sure. That last layup he deserved as his help d forced a dangerous pass that Pippen got.

 

[rrlbees]

After 3q he has 21 pts, 5 rebs, 1 stl. After starting 0-4 he is 8-10. After starting 0-4 from 3 he is 5-7.

Laker fans say they have 1 roster spot available but want some guy cut so they can keep both Cole and Pippen.

Laker win will knock the Pelicans out of the summer league championship.

Both have played well this summer. With so many guys who can create its an ideal landing spot for Cole.

 

[Orangezoo]

Amazes me guys like Mccoy think playing so selfishly is getting them on a roster.

Lakers win. Cole finished with 21 pts, 6 rebs 1 stl. Played the most mins with 23 mins. Team best +11.

AND he got interviewed after the game on national TV.

Laker HC hugging Swider as he heads to the locker room. So happy for Cole. Keep it rolling.

 

[rrlbees]

Also got a hug from Scottie Pippen Sr.

All of it was great to watch. Just was away from my computer watching the rest. But the hugs, the interview, etc good stuff.

Huge props to JB and staff. Their belief in Cole helped him round into what he is doing now. Take that belief, his talent, and lots of hard work, and this is the result.

An "I'm too lazy to look it up" request: can other NBA teams claims 2 way players? If so, when?

No. They also don’t count toward roster totals or salary cap.

You can carry 15 on the roster and (2) 2-way players for a total of 17.

The more I look at Duncan Robinson the more I can see Cole filling that role and having a nice little NBA career. Robinson comes in in top 200 in defensive rating and top 150 in defensive WS. Based on Coles commitment and effort this seems very doable not to mention being 6-9 vs 6-7.

Seeing Cole in the SL makes me think how much different last season could have went if Jesse didn't get injured. Almost exactly at the time that Jesse was injured, Cole had really started getting hot which would have taken pressure defense off Buddy and would have made the team hard to defend, James also improved considerably as the team came together. Good luck to Cole to keep his hot hand rolling right into the League.
