Man…the Los Angeles Lakers might have found a shooter in Cole Swider!

Heat game on Saturday:

"Swider scored 10 points at the drop of a hat in the final quarter. The Lakers need to run plays to get his shot off from the perimeter. He’s that good."

Warriors game on Sunday:

Man, this cat has a shooting stroke on him. Cole Swider can flat-out shoot the rock folks. He got a few shots to fall late in the Miami game and was a flat-out marksman in this one. Cole Swider stated that he was the best shooter in the draft and his 8-for-13 from three-point range in his first two summer league games does little to diminish his confidence.

When Swider checked out of the game for the final time in the fourth quarter, he collected a team-high 16 points, three rebounds and one block. Where he stood out was behind the arc where he nailed five shots from long distance.
