Draft D'Andre Swift ahead of Bucky Irving. Even in the same-position comparison, Swift is the clearer edge in both outcomes and usage: he’s ranked 7th overall, has a higher modeled median (302.6 vs 218.4) and ceiling (393.0 vs 277.0), and commands a larger role share (83.5% vs 54.2%). The risk gap also favors Swift. His playoff runway is slightly stronger too. Timing-wise, the preferred role command advantage matters regardless of how early you grab him.

Irving’s strongest real path is matching Swift’s role efficiency; if he secures comparable share, his median could converge.
Kyle Monangai returning to unrestricted work would remove the temporary teammate opportunity adjustment.
