Interested in seeing where Swain is going to be drafted.  He didnt have a horrible combine per say, but he didn't exactly help himself either.  Same question marks remain.

Looks like he dropped out of participating in day 2 of scrimmaging after only being "okay" day 1 in order to maybe maintain some draft hype.  8pts, 5rebs, 0-0 from three on Day 1.  Was steady & solid game 1 but didnt really standout.  His 3pt star drill testing didn't really go well, & his measureables were all kinda in the average range. Measured 6-6 1/2 no shoes.

I think best case for him, is that he falls a little in the first round & goes to a good team that can develop him over time.  What Swain really has going for him is that he still has a ton of room for improvement in his game IMO.   However, he's gotta really hunker down on his 3pt mechanics...he's just didnt look real comfortable in that star drill a couple days ago.  Inconsistent mechanics on most of his shots.

Despite the criticism, still rooting for him. Interested in seeing where he lands & how he pans out.  @Gerry Hamilton what do you think post combine?

I'm the same. I think at times too much can be put into combine being bigger than it is for scouts. Kon Knueppel struggled shooting from the NBA 3 wins last year at combine ... was top 2-3 3-point shooter in league as a rookie. 

The individual team workouts coming up will be the most impactful for most guys IMO

I remain the same on Swain ...

He's going to be a solid role player with wing playmaking ability IMO. I don't see him going beyond that, currently. Strong role player off bench, or a role player starter (4th/5th scoring option) 

Detroit at 21, Boston at 27, Dallas at 30 ... can see that. Maybe a OKC at 17 or Charlotte at 18 really likes him fitting into their team. 

Miami really likes him, but don't see 13 for him in this draft.
