NBA Summer League action continued on Sunday with a California Classic doubleheader featuring Spurs-Warriors and Lakers-Heat. Here’s a look at the top individual performers:
Cole Swider, L.A. Lakers
Swider showed out well for the second consecutive Summer League game, shooting an identical 7-for-10 from the field in each contest en route to 20 points in L.A.’s 103-83 win over Miami. The 26-year-old forward did most of his damage inside the arc, flashing the mid-range shooting skill that could be valuable in the right setting. Another positive sign: just three turnovers in nearly 60 total minutes of action. The 6-foot-8 Swider has bounced around the league since going undrafted in 2022, but the same Lakers franchise that took the first NBA look at him is getting another one now.

David Jones-Garcia
The 23-year-old Jones-Garcia showed a little more of the scoring efficiency that marked his impressive G League rookie season with Mexico City. He shot 9-for-14 in Sunday’s win over the Warriors, finishing with a game-high 25 points. He looked as comfortable hoisting from outside as he does attacking the rim; the multi-level offense is intriguing if the turnovers (nine over the first two games) can be trimmed down.
LJ Cryer
Teams that hold to the idea that “too much shooting” doesn’t exist may take a look at Cryer. The undrafted guard made his name as a pure 3-point marksman in college, and it’s translating so far at Summer League. One day after a modest 2-for-3, eight-point outing off the bench, Cryer started and lit up the nets for five 3-pointers and 19 points in under 23 minutes.
