Bulls' Dailyn Swain: Taken by CHI at No. 15
Rotowire
Swain was selected by the Bulls with the No. 15 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.
Swain lands in Chicago after putting together a dominant junior season at Texas. The athletic forward was the engine of the Longhorns' offense, putting up a stellar line of 17.3 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game while displaying tremendous efficiency inside the arc with a 54.2 percent shooting mark from the field. Swain possesses a versatile, modern skill set, offering the size to impact the game on the glass alongside the playmaking chops to generate looks for others out of the frontcourt. A significant driver behind that high field-goal percentage is Swain's elite ability as a finisher at the rim. He excels at using his length and explosive athleticism to play through contact in the paint, frequently converting tough, contested looks and generating second-chance opportunities. While his perimeter shooting consistency remains a development point as he transitions to the NBA, his interior scoring prowess, defensive motor and elite athletic traits give him dynamic upside. He joins a Bulls squad looking to inject youthful length and playmaking into its core, positioning Swain to compete for immediate minutes during his rookie campaign.
