Cole Swider signs with Heat

Interesting article which includes one familiar player's Summer League success leading to just about nothing.https://www.goldenstateofmind.com/2022/7/12/23206492/warriors-summer-league-mac-mcclung-contract?_gl=1*o61aok*

Interesting. To be fair the road to a roster gets quite a bit more challenging when you are a guy with the ball in his hands. You see so many guys pressing and trying to show out in SL at the guard position. So I do think that position and skill set matters when you look at McClung vs Cole.

Well -- safe to say, Cole Swider has made the most out of his summer league audition / opportunity.

I literally don't think he could have played any better.

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.

If only we had some perimeter players that could dribble by people and defend a little.

We had a few pieces, no question. Just wasn’t a well rounded team at all.

You tell ‘em Elijah.

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.

I don't follow the NBA really, at all, but is it commonplace for a team to exceed the salary cap with only 3 players?!

Eh - GSW, Nets, Bucks, etc. are all in similar situations with $100M+ on three players, just better results.

Melo earned around $2.5m. He was their 5th highest scorer.

Davis only played in 40 of their 82 games - almost $1m a game.
Lebron played in just 56 games.

Still was impressive to see how much Cole and Jesse improved over the season.

Cole plays again tonight at 10pm on ESPN.

[rrlbees]

Finished with 16 pts, 3 rebs, 1 ast. Was leading scorer again. Shot 6/9 and 4/6 from 3. Got lots of pub during the game. Summer league is over for him.

Did all he can possibly do. Got the opportunity and played as well as he can.

As an athlete, can’t ask for any more than that.
