Swider recorded 16 points (5-16 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three steals and two assists across 30 minutes Sunday in the G League Motor City Cruise's 133-110 loss to the Sioux Falls Skyforce.
ANALYSIS
Swider wasn't afraid to let it fly on the offensive end, but he needed 16 attempts from the field to score 16 points. He impressed on the defensive end, accounting for three of his squad's 11 steals in the loss. Overall, this was a disappointing performance by Swider's standards, as he's averaging 24.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.7 steals over seven appearances for the Cruise this season. Swider is on a two-way contract with the Pistons, but unless injuries start to stack up in the Detroit frontcourt, he doesn't have a path to meaningful minutes at the NBA level.
