The Detroit Pistons announced that they have agreed on a two-way deal with forward Cole Swider. The 25-year-old enters this third season in the NBA after playing for the Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers in his first two years. Swider has appeared in 25 games so far and averaged 2.0 points in 5.1 minutes per contest. He's only shooting 38.3% from the floor throughout his career right now and hasn't been able to crack a full-time position in a lineup yet. He's not on the fantasy radar right now but he will work to convert his deal into a full contract.
Los Angeles Lakers forward Cole Swider finished with a game-high 21 points during the Summer League win over the Pelicans. He added six rebounds and a steal. The Syracuse alum also shot the ball well on Friday, going 8-for-15 from the field and 5-for-11 from deep. Swider has played sufficiently during his time in Las Vegas and has made a solid case to make the regular season roster, especially since L.A. is strapped for cash and looking to add depth. The 23-year-old may not be a consistent fantasy contributor this season, although he's someone for dynasty managers to keep on the radar moving ahead.
