The NBA offseason has begun for some time. With the end of the draft and the completion of various signings after the free market opening day, the recruitment and reinforcement work of each team has come to an end for the time being. So far in the offseason, several teams have made remarkable signings. For example, Los Angeles Lakers , they have received widespread praise in recent times. After the free market opened, the Lakers signed four players in a row, namely Damien Jones, Troy Brown, Lonnie Walker and Toscano Anderson.
The Lakers 's aggressiveness in signings this year is no less aggressive than last year. Thinking back to this time last year, the Lakers quickly signed Anthony, Howard, Anthony, Ariza and other players to create a super luxurious lineup. However, after the Lakers signed these veterans, they did not receive the expected results. After one season, the Lakers were completely useless. Not only did they fail to reach the playoffs of and , they even failed to enter the play-offs. This made the Lakers management fully realize that only tapping young people with potential is the most cost-effective operation.
In fact, the Lakers were not completely without gains last season. After one season, Horton-Tucker, Reeves and Stanley Johnson3 young people have all shown their worth and have secured their main rotation positions in the team. In particular, the sudden emergence of young player Reeves has made Lakers fans feel a little relieved. This summer, the Lakers signed several more young players with basic salaries and two-way contracts. These people are the main targets of the Lakers' treasure hunt. At this time, the summer league was getting underway with great fanfare, and Lakers fans were able to fully observe their performance.
The NBA Summer League California Classic has been going on for two game days, and the Lakers took the lead in making their appearance. In today's game, the Lakers defeated the Warriors 100-77. In this campaign, Lakers two-way contract player Cole Swider continued his stable output. He started for 19 minutes and 49 seconds in this game. He made 5 of 8 shots, 5 of 8 three-pointers, 1 of 1 free throws, and scored 16 points, 3 rebounds and 1 rebound. Blocked shots and made no mistakes, plus or minus +17. Swider, who is 2.06 meters tall, is an athletic inside man. He scored 13 points in the last game and has performed well in two consecutive games.
The most eye-catching thing is Swedeβs performance from beyond the three-point line. After scoring 5 three-pointers today, Swede made 8 of 13 shots from beyond the three-point line in the two games. He made 8 of 13 shots from beyond the three-point line yesterday. In the game against , Heat , he made 3 of 5 three-pointers. He is the most stable shooter in the summer league so far. Swider has claimed in previous interviews that he is the top scorer among this rookie class. Regarding the young man's confident statement, the well-known media Lakers Nation posted on social media: "So far, his (Sweed) statement has been supported."
Swede's stable performance beyond the three-point line , like a tall version of Klay Thompson , giving people the feeling that they can enter by raising their hands. Judging from the current two games, Swider is a bit like Reeves last year. If he can continue this performance to the start of the new season, he will hopefully win a rotation position. Maybe the Lakers management can be discerning and inadvertently discover a young player like Tucker and Reeves. In that case, Lakers fans will have something to look forward to!
