Stromile Emanuel Swift (/ˈstroʊmaɪl/ STROH-myle; born November 21, 1979) is an American former professional basketball player. He played college basketball for the LSU Tigers before being selected second overall by the Vancouver Grizzlies in the 2000 NBA draft. At 6'10" and 220 lbs, he played the power forward and center positions.
Swift spent his college career at Louisiana State University, where he led the Tigers to the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament his sophomore year, during the time when the LSU men's basketball program was under probation and had limited scholarships available.
Swift was selected second overall in the 2000 NBA draft by the Vancouver Grizzlies. His debut game was played on October 31, 2000, in a 94–88 win over the Seattle SuperSonics. Swift played for 9 minutes and the only stat he recorded was 1 rebound.
For his sophomore season, the Grizzlies relocated to Memphis and although he did not become a consistent starter for the team (starting in 14 out of 68 games played), he saw a drastic increase in minutes (16.4 to 26.5 per game). This season was Swift's most productive season of his career, as he averaged his highest points (11.8), rebounds (6.3) and blocks per game (1.7). In this same season he competed in the 2001 Slam Dunk Competition against Baron Davis, DeShawn Stevenson, Corey Maggette, Desmond Mason and Jonathan Bender. Swift placed fourth as Mason, of the Seattle SuperSonics, won the competition.
On April 17, 2002, Swift scored a career-high 31 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in a loss against the Seattle SuperSonics.
After the 2004–05 season, Swift left the Grizzlies as a free agent and signed a four-year, $22 million contract with the Houston Rockets. At the time of his departure to Houston for the 2005–06 season, Swift was the last remaining player on the Grizzlies roster to have moved with the team from Vancouver.
In 2006, Swift was traded back to the Memphis Grizzlies along with the rights to the #8 draft pick Rudy Gay in exchange for Shane Battier, in a draft day trade. For some time, he was their starting center.
On January 3, 2007, Swift's 26 points helped lead (teammate Mike Miller had 33 points) the Grizzlies to a 144–135 victory against the Golden State Warriors.
