#25

RANK


Pros:

  • over the top jumpshooting is his forte; seeks middies

  • great contested jump shot maker

  • long frame with added muscle; secondary rim protection upside

  • good at controlling the pace; never gets rushed

  • active off-ball mover

  • good touch

  • good connective passer; tends to see plays develop before they do

Cons:

  • clunky lateral foot speed

  • struggles against contact; often loses body control/handle + struggles with screen nav

  • 3pt efficiency has been rough as the shot lacks comfortability

  • can be a ball stopper

  • turnover prone due to questionable passes and a poor handle through contact

  • struggles to get to the rim in isolation; settles for bad quality shots

  • slight frame and limited athleticism

C: low-tier second option

F: doesn’t survive his rookie contract

#7

RANK


A 6'10" forward with a high center of gravity and the rare ability to shoot over most perimeter defenders with a smooth step-back jumper. His appeal is in his potential as a 3-and-D weapon who can defend multiple positions due to his length. He needs to add significant lower body strength and become more assertive to handle the NBA's physicality.

NBA Comp: Zaccharie Risacher

Low End: Cody Williams Median: Santi Aldama High End: Jalen Johnson Pros: Frame, shooting, playmaking, defensive effort Cons: Strength, handle, scoring, athleticism Verdict: Feels like an inverse of Caleb Wilson as a big wiry frame guy. Could be a big secondary playmaker, but struggles in drives against stronger aggressive players. A bit too passive and settles for passes sometimes, but can make the shots if he decides to do so. Some issues with burst, but if all things clicked could be a really good offensive weapon.

RANK


3 and some D wing

(Risacher)

  • Good off ball movement

  • Great size

  • Has some guard skills

  • Really weak physically

  • Still feels ucoordinated

  • Not an explosive athlete

  • Inefficient

Is relying a lot on his size as he’s not an interior scorer or defender yet, with a lot of room to develop physicality. Needs to rely on outside scoring and he’s not doing that efficiently either. 50% at the rim is frightening. He has some guard skills and isn’t a bad passer, most of his TO’s just come from being too weak when being bumped or when fighting for possession. Not sure how much he offers outside of scoring, so he’d need to be efficient at a minimum

Reminds of John Havlicek, Andre Igluadala, and Shawn Marion. Despite athletic concerns Ament is the best defnensive prospect in the draft. Despite not logging a ton of 'stocks' or making flashy defnsive plays Ament is the definition of lockdown, in the league the opposing team's best player will constantly be calling for a swtich when guarded by Ament. While also being capable from 3 and confident handling the ball too. Ament is super smooth, and plays at his own pace. Ridiculously high release on his shot (think MPJ) and comfortable taking 3s off the dribble and catch and shoot. But his main game is as a brusier inside, love to driver insides and hit layups/tough 5-7 floaters, which reveals his greatest weakness, his lack of strength. Ament must gain substancial weight in order to support his physical offensive game, based off of short floater and rebounding
