Dailyn Swain shooting up NBA Mock Drafts in 2026

[Gerry Hamilton]

First time he's appeared as high as first pick in the second round

He keeps starting to make perimeter shots, and playing at near this level the remainder of the SEC schedule ... he will appear in late 1sdt/ear;ly 2nd round mocks by many.

If he can stop making stupid fouls that would be GREAT

NBA looking like they love him more now than ever 

Guys are still young players, and developing

i can see why.  He has been skyrocketing and standing out, especially since SEC play started.  IT doesn't always look pretty from him but the results are what matter most.

Agreed.  I hope we can keep him next year, but it might be tough if he keeps playing this way.

Odds today he comes back for senior year?

He’s gone if that three keeps dropping. Would be nice if Texas could get some wins off his performance. 
 

Even if he came back, the NIL offers would be huge.

Probably having a much different season had Conwell followed his coach here.

too soon to say ... because he's playing at a much higher level than anticpated - as much as Miller loved him before this season.

We need him back.  We’ve endured the early growing pains and now he’s flourishing similar.  Would hate to lose him after the light switch turned on, which is similar to Arch.

This is not good for us for next season. Really want him back with volk and incoming freshman and a couple transfers.

Drop the bag, CDC.  I wanna see Texas basketball look like the 2023 team again.  Don't halfarse it.
