Robert-Swift
Robert Swift (born December 3, 1985, in Bakersfield, California) is an American professional basketball player for the Seattle SuperSonics of the NBA. The "Big Red Head", stands 7 feet tall and plays the center position. Swift caught the attention of NBA and college scouts while playing for Garces Memorial High School, and then later as the centerpiece of the Bakersfield High School team.
During his time at Garces, the small Catholic high school broke into the USA Today top-25 high school basketball team rankings. Between his junior and senior year, Swift transferred from Garces to Highland High School, and then just before his senior year, he transferred once more into Bakersfield High School. This move provoked a hearing by the California Interscholastic Federation that initially declared Swift ineligible for the 2003–04 season; however it was later overturned and he played his senior season.
In 2004, Swift bypassed college and opted for the NBA, turning down an offer from USC. He was selected by the Seattle SuperSonics in the first round with the twelfth overall pick in the 2004 NBA Draft. In his first season he played in 16 games, averaging 4.5 minutes, 0.9 points, 0.4 rebounds, and 0.4 blocks per game. In his second season, under the direction of coach Bob Hill, he started 20 out of 47 games, averaging 21 minutes, 6.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.19 blocks per game.
In 2006 Swift was awarded the starting job at center but is expected to miss the entire season due to a torn ACL in his knee.
