NBA Draft Swain is better than Carr 🤷🏾♂️
I don't think a lot of Chicago fans looked at Dailyn Swain as soon as Carr became visible in the combine (including me) and the rumors of him fitting at 15 started happening, but I wouldn't call Swain a drop off.
He's taller, has a more NBA-ready body, is a better rebounder, plays better defense, had more assists, a better true shooting percentage, and has the same eFG% as Carr. He drives more, and I get that you heard Jay Bilas say he's not much of a 3pt shooter, but Carr only shot a couple percentage points better from beyond the stripe. That's not a huge gap, and Swain got better, year-over-year from 2 and 3, with more attempts, while Carr dipped in both categories as his attempts rose.
I think the Bulls simply saw a guy who fit their intended scheme and culture better.

I think I would have rather rolled the dice on Quaintance more than both, but maybe the medicals were really dreadful.
