Will Dailyn Swain still be on the board when the Sixers are on the clock at No. 22 overall in the 2026 NBA Draft?
The Sixers, who reportedly worked out St. John’s prospect Zuby Ejiofor on Tuesday, have a busy week of visits ahead.
According to a report from Jake Fischer of The Stein Line on Wednesday morning, six different players expected to be drafted in the first round of next week’s 2026 NBA Draft will have worked out for the Sixers by the end of this week:
The Sixers have begun working out prospects for the No. 22 pick in Tuesday’s first round. Sources say by week’s end, Philadelphia will have completed in-person visits from all of Koa Peat, Dailyn Swain, Chris Cenac, Allen Graves, Isaiah Evans and Zuby Ejiofor.

During six years under Daryl Morey, the Sixers rarely let any sort of word spread about the prospects they were working out or meeting with. In fact, they would often avoid making consistent contact with players they coveted to ensure their interest in said prospects did not become clear.
Time will tell how open the Sixers are about their prospects of interest under Morey’s replacement, Mike Gansey. Some teams host public workouts with groups of prospects, open to reporters. The Sixers have not done so in quite some time.
In any case, this is an appealing batch of prospects, and it is very possible that one of these six players will be back in the Sixers’ practice facility in Camden next week as newly minted NBA player.
Three of these players — Ejiofor, Allen Graves and Dailyn Swain — are among the prospects PhillyVoice has spoken about with impressed draft experts.
