Chicago Bulls rookie Dailyn Swain is expected to spend significant time at point guard during Summer League as both the player and the organization look to further develop his playmaking abilities.

The No. 15 overall pick in last month’s NBA Draft steadily improved as a passer throughout his college career, averaging 3.6 assists per game during his junior season in 2025-26.

Chicago plans to put the ball in his hands more often this summer to accelerate that growth.

“I’m going to be on the ball a lot,” Swain said.

“Making the right reads, having my teammates able to trust me with the ball in my hands, making everybody better, hitting guys when they’re open – I think that just builds chemistry and makes everybody want to play harder.”

The Bulls view Swain’s versatility as one of his biggest strengths and hope the added on-ball responsibilities will help prepare him for a larger role as he begins his NBA career.
