Draft D'Andre Swift over Bucky Irving. Swift is the higher draft-value play with a major separation in both outcomes and usage: he ranks 7th overall (vs Irving’s 42nd) and carries a modeled median of 302.6 to Irving’s 218.4, plus a ceiling of 393.0 versus 277.0. Swift’s role command is much higher (83.5% vs 54.2%), and his playoff runway is better (54 vs 48). This holds regardless of acquisition timing.

Irving’s best real path is staying efficient on a lower-volume share, then converting limited touches into spike weeks.
Kyle Monangai returning to unrestricted work would remove the temporary teammate opportunity adjustment.
