The former Lakers pitcher will switch to the Turkish giants. What kind of performance can he play in the European arena?

According to NBA insider Marc Stein, former NBA player Cole Swider, currently in free agency, is close to signing with Turkish League giant Anadolu Efes, and he also has the opportunity to appear in Europe for the first time next season.

Sweed was born in May 1999 and is 26 years old, 203cm tall and weighs 100kg. He is a forward player with excellent scoring and shooting ability, and is also a undraft in the 2022 NBA Draft. In the NBA, Sweed has played for the Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat, Detroit Pistons and Toronto Raptors, but has no particularly outstanding performance. So far, he has made a total of 35 appearances in the NBA, averaging 8.5 minutes per game, averaging 3.1 points, 1.2 rebounds, 0.3 assists, 0.1 steals and 0.1 blocks, and 0.3 turnovers and 0.5 fouls. His shooting percentage is 36.4%, three-point shooting percentage is 32.9%, and free throw shooting percentage is 66.7%. Although Sweed has replaced several teams in the NBA field, he has not received enough playing time and performance opportunities, and his performance on the field lacks highlights. However, it is worth noting that Sweed performed very well in the NBA Development League. In the NBA Development League regular season last season, Sweed played 31 times for the Pistons' subordinate team Motor City Tour and the Lakers' subordinate team Nanwan Lakers, with averaging 34.7 minutes per game, with averaging 21 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.3 blocks, and 1 turnover and 2.1 fouls. His shooting percentage was 48.5%, a three-point shooting percentage of 44.3%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 95.2%.

Previously, Sweed once again represented the Lakers in the NBA Summer League. Sweed made a total of 8 appearances in the summer league, averaging 29.4 minutes per game, averaging 18.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.5 blocks, and 1.6 turnovers and 2.1 fouls. His shooting percentage was 49.5%, three-point shooting percentage was 43.1%, and free throw shooting percentage was 77.8%. Obviously, his performance is outstanding in the NBA Development League and the NBA Summer League. He has super scoring ability, he also has excellent shooting ability, and his performance is also very stable.

Anadolu Effis has multiple NBA experience players, including Shane Larkin, Rodrigue Beaubois, PJ Dozier and Georgios Papagiannis. The team's head coach next season is still the Serbian Igor Kokoskov, who once served as head coach for the Phoenix Suns and has served as assistant coach for several NBA teams. I don’t know what kind of performance Sweed can perform in the European arena and whether he can gain a foothold in the field outside the NBA.
