2026 Draft Profile - Dailyn Swain

Jeremy Woo - ESPN - March 11th: "His shooting has long been a concern for scouts, but he's shown some progress this season (35% on 80 3s) and is now a career 81% from the line. He also projects as a plus positional defender with his frame and agility. Swain has to develop as a shooter to play without the ball, with his current high-usage role at Texas expected to scale down in the NBA."

Jonathan Wasserman - Bleacher Report - March 10th: "His shooting remains iffy, which for a third-year wing will turn some teams off. However, the ability to create for himself, finish, pass and make plays defensively should lead to plenty of suitors."

NBA Draft Room - March 6th: "A high level athlete with NBA level tools. Competes hard on both ends and has a lot of versatility. Struggles to shoot the ball from deep and has a lot of work to do with his offensive skill-set."

Sam Vecenie - The Athletic - March 2nd: "His style is very reminiscent of another former Xavier wing, Naji Marshall, as he is an aggressive downhill player who should have zero issue pressuring the rim even in the NBA, but who also needs to improve as a shooter to maximize that ability. But Swain also has far better overall explosiveness and his body mechanics allow him to get into tighter areas of the court with ease."
