Swider, a sharpshooter whose G League numbers spark attention (over 44% from three in recent seasons) but limited NBA exposure, is leaving the NBA path for Efes in EuroLeague. His success hinges on minutes and shot intake in a top European system. If he sustains elite range and improves off-dribble shooting, a return to the NBA could be plausible, especially as teams chase extra floor spacers who can shoot at a high clip.

Swider shone in his Summer League debut, scoring 24 points with an impressive shooting performance, raising his profile for potential NBA opportunities.

Cole Swider, having averaged 7.4 points and 3.1 rebounds in just 8 games, was waived as part of the Raptors' roster overhaul. His limited impact during the season likely contributed to this decision.

Cole Swider has been signed by the Raptors for the rest of the season, showcasing his potential as a valued contributor. His performance in the G League and recent games with Toronto highlight his shooting ability and understanding of the team's strategies.
