He has been described as a "Swiss Army knife" that can adapt and play all over the floor. He will likely be moved from point guard to a "big" position once he is on an NBA roster. Swain was a key part of a surprisingly great Texas Longhorns team that reached the Sweet 16 in March Madness.
Looking ahead at the NBA Draft, the Knicks have to use this to their advantage. No matter where they end up, depending on whether their season ends with a championship or not, they have to make the right choice. Swain, if he is still available, looks to be a slam dunk.
