Bulls rookie Dailyn Swain to begin NBA career with fresh jersey number
Wearing No. 3 for most of his basketball career, Dailyn Swain will have a new look when he takes the court for his rookie campaign with the Bulls.
Dailyn Swain, the 15th overall pick in the NBA draft, will be debuting his professional basketball career with the Chicago Bulls wearing a different number. Since high school, Swain has worn No. 3, but the number is now held by Josh Giddey. On draft night, Swain contemplated negotiating with Giddey for the coveted number, but ultimately settled on No. 5.
During his high school and college career, Swain showcased his skills, averaging impressive statistics. He led his team in five different categories, including scoring, rebounding, assists, steals, and minutes, earning him the SEC Newcomer of the Year award. In the summer league, Swain played four games, averaging 4.2 points, five rebounds, and 2.2 assists.
The Bulls were thrilled to welcome Swain and fellow first-round pick Caleb Wilson to the team, hoping they will contribute to the team's resurgence. Rookie Wire is excited to follow Swain's journey as he adapts to the NBA and begins his professional career.
