Texas Longhorns junior wing Dailyn Swain plans is remaining in the 2026 NBA Draft, a decision made during the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago, which ends on Sunday, he told ESPN’s Jeff Borzello.

“Two feet in,” Swain said.

Projected as a late first-round pick in this year’s draft in the latest projection from ESPN, Swain measured at 6’6.5, 211 pounds, good height for the wing position with strong athleticism testing numbers in his max vertical and three-quarter court sprint, but is less prototypical with his wingspan and standing vertical and average agility.

Swain’s shooting has drawn some mixed reactions between the optics of his shot and his ability to hit it off the dribble in drills.

The mechanics of Swain’s shooting stroke won’t help him in the draft, but his ability as a slasher is elite and he is one of the best prospects competing in the five-on-five portions of the combine, eight points on 3-of-8 shooting with five rebounds, two assists, and two steals in his first game.
