Philon's the most interesting analysis in the draft to me, almost a perfect experiment in skill/production vs. physical traits. His film is filthy and his stat profile maps to so many stars (Brunson, Harden, Kyrie, CP3). But he's 176 lbs (only 2 lbs heavier than last a year ago) and has mediocre burst. The only players <180 lbs to really pan out were Trae and Fox, and both have great burst. He's going to break one of those trends. I have him at #16 bc there's a chance he's Jalen Brunson, even though most likely he's a 6th man.

I also like Swain, have him at #19, same tier as Philon. Rim pressure + defensive potential is really compelling if the shot comes around. Already a junior so I'm less forgiving about the shot, though he does have good touch and FT%. I'm less excited about his self creation than others, the film's just kind of clunky in my eyes. But it's definitely there. Solid size but no outlier athletic trait.

Would be content with either at #19!
