NBA comps · measurables + production
vs wings · 2010–2015Matched on combine measurements (length, frame, explosion, agility) and college production (BPM, TS%, usage, assists), within position group. Each comp's tag shows which basis drove it; the college production + career outcome shown belongs to the comp, never projected onto Swain.
“Top X%” = closer to Swain than (100−X)% of all drafted wings on the measurables + production; the bar shows relative closeness among these 5.
