God of War in low-level games! Will the Lakers consider signing this forward pitcher back?

4:14am, 20 July 2025【Basketball】

In a previous NBA Las Vegas summer league game, the Denver Nuggets defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 106-84. After this game, the Nuggets' record in the summer league increased to 2 wins and 3 losses; while the Lakers' record in the summer league fell to 1 wins and 4 losses.

Although the Lakers suffered a crushing defeat in this game, the team's starting pitcher Cole Swider's performance was also considered to be moderate. Sweed played 26 minutes and 24 seconds in the game, made 6 of 15 shots, 2 of 8 from outside the three-point line, and 3 of 3 free throws, and obtained the highest score of the team of 17 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block. There were 2 turnovers and 2 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -10. Sweed has shown a relatively comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end, and he has also won a lot of points through various methods. Sweed also had many difficulties on the offensive end in this game. The other players in the team's starting lineup only scored 9 points in total, and the offensive efficiency was 3 of 20. In this case, it was indeed difficult for Sweed to find more space on the court. Sweed actually tried his best on the defensive end, and at least he showed a good defensive attitude. Sweed also played his own characteristics in this game, but the performance of other players was indeed too poor, and his efforts were not rewarded.

Soul has played 8 games in total, with averaging 29.4 minutes per game, with averaging 18.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.5 blocks, and 1.6 turnovers and 2.1 fouls. His shooting percentage is 49.5%, his three-point shooting percentage is 43.1%, and his free throw shooting percentage is 77.8%. Sweed's overall performance during the summer league is still quite good. Even though the Lakers' record during the summer league is not ideal, he can still show his offensive talent and maintain stable offensive efficiency, which is actually not an easy task. Sweed's performance on the defensive end exceeded everyone's expectations, and he also showed outstanding personal defensive ability.

Sweed seems to be a strong player in the summer league. His offensive ability is quite outstanding and he is considered a top scorer in the summer league. If the Lakers' Summer League lineup can be stronger, Sweed's performance will be better. But the problem is that Sweed has always been a very good player in low-level games, but it has been difficult for him to perform in the NBA. It is not surprising that he has performed like this in the summer league. Will the Lakers choose to keep him next?
