Villanova’s Cole Swider to replace Zion Williamson in Hoop Summit

One week after playing in the Jordan Brand Classic, Villanova-bound forward Cole Swider will compete in the Nike Hoop Summit.

Swider  (St. Andrew’s School/Providence, R.I.) on Wednesday was added to the USA Junior National Select Team that will take on the World Select Team in the 2018 Nike Hoop Summit at 10 p.m. EDT on Friday, April 13, at the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon.

Previously named USA team member Zion Williamson (Spartanburg Day School/Spartanburg, S.C.), who has signed with Duke, is unable to play due to injury.

Swider helped St. Andrew’s to a 12-8 record in 2017-18 and is considered a 3-point shooter. Most recently at the 2018 Jordan Brand Classic, Swider recorded 17 poitns and four rebounds in 16 minutes of action.
