Texas Longhorns wing Dailyn Swain has officially decided to keep his name in the 2026 NBA Draft, a move that signals his full commitment to the next level. The announcement came during the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago, which wraps up on Sunday, as Swain shared the news with ESPN's Jeff Borzello.

Currently projected as a late first-round pick in ESPN's latest mock draft, Swain has been turning heads in Chicago. At 6-foot-6.5 and 211 pounds, he boasts ideal size for the wing position and impressed scouts with strong athletic testing numbers, including his max vertical and three-quarter court sprint. However, his wingspan and standing vertical are a bit less prototypical, and his agility testing was average—leaving some evaluators wanting more.

One of the biggest storylines around Swain has been his shooting. While his ability to knock down shots off the dribble in drills has shown promise, scouts have noted a hitch in his mechanics and a tendency to dip the ball too low on the catch. It's a mixed bag that could affect his draft stock, but it's far from the whole story.

Where Swain truly shines is as a slasher. His ability to attack the rim is elite, and he's been one of the standout performers in the combine's five-on-five sessions. In his first game, he put up eight points on 3-of-8 shooting, adding five rebounds, two assists, and two steals—a stat line that highlights his versatility and two-way potential.

For Texas head coach Sean Miller and his staff, Swain's decision brings much-needed clarity. With the draft just a month away, the Longhorns can now focus on rounding out their 2026-27 roster, knowing their star wing is all in on the NBA dream.
