Tennessee forward Nate Ament was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks with the 13th pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. Despite being projected as a top 10 talent in various mock drafts, Ament's drop was attributed to his subpar shooting performance of under 40% from the field during his only season in college. Concerns over his finishing ability at the rim contributed to teams opting for other prospects earlier in the draft. Ament's selection marks a surprising turn for a player previously compared to Kevin Durant for his size and skill set.
