Here’s my thoughts on Texas guys on 2026-27 team and NBA Draft

Isaiah Johnson - 1st round in 2027 or 2028

Austin Goosby - 1st round in 2028, or outside shot 2027

Elyjah Freeman - 2nd or 1st round in 2027

David Punch - 2nd round in 2027, or 2028

Matas - 2nd round in 2027, or 2028

It goes without saying that this is a great night for Sean Miller and the Texas program.

Matas as valuable if not more than Swain this past year and can't teach 7 feet will go first round.

Going to have to show improved defensive ability this season IMO. If he’s only a drop coverage defender in the ball screen game … tough for him to go 1st

I agree with Gerry. Matas needs to show improved defensive movement, better processing on offense and defense (avoid silly fouls), more refined offensive skill to be a first rounder. 

There's still quite a bit of ill-informed reporting on Swain out there. I watched some guy claim Swain couldn't handle the ball or pass, but for some reason a team can run offense through him. It's obvious these guys don't watch any film or simply don't know what they're talking about. Where do these guys come from? 

Don't worry y'all we got him. Look for great things from him, but have patience we're young👀🔴

He better get a face up game if he wants to go first round. He will get drawn out to the perimeter and that will expose his inability to move quick enough to guard. Really great college player, who will get a lot better this year. I see him sticking on a roster even if it’s second round, but that’s about it.
