The only fig leaf for the Lakers' entire team? He was the only one on the whole team who could play?
In today's NBA Summer League, the Los Angeles Lakers lost 86-89 to the Charlotte Hornets after a double overtime battle. Although he lost the game, Lakers' starting forward Cole Swider performed well, playing 31 minutes and 03 seconds, shooting 6-of-10 and 5-of-8 from outside the three-point line, scoring a team-high of 21 points plus 4 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block, plus plus minus +1.
Sweed showed great shooting ability and basketball IQ in the game. Unable to get enough support, he played an extremely efficient game. Although many shots were made by the tight interference of defensive players, he still shot 5 of 8 three-point efficiency. If he can have a high-level point guard by his side, or at least a slightly more sober guard, Sweed can get better statistics in the game, and the Lakers have a great chance of winning this game.
Sweed was the loser in this year's draft, and after the draft, the Lakers signed him a two-way contract, and he also represented the Lakers in the summer league game. Compared to second-round pick Max Christie and famed son Scotty Pippen Jr., Sweed is clearly the one who is not taken seriously, and not many people believed that Sweed would have a chance to play in the Lakers. But judging by a series of performances in the summer league, Sweed's immediate combat strength is very high. His maturity is also far higher than that of a group of shrimp soldiers and crabs around him.
Of course, the summer league is just a training field, through the summer league, I believe that the Lakers management can also see the strength of Sweed. With his current performance, he has every opportunity to storm the Lakers' rotation lineup. Maybe he's the next Austin Reaves.
