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

Nate Ament, 6'10, 207, SF, Tennessee, Fr.

• Comp: Kevin Durant / Franz Wagner / Otto Porter Jr.

• Ceiling: Hall of Fame

• Floor: Bench

• He plays like a guard

• He’s extremely smooth

• Has a really deep bag, is good at getting the shots he wants

• Is very creative offensively

• 3-Level-Scorer

• Long wingspan

• Gets into passing lanes

• Has a good handle, needs to be tighter to be a high-level ball handler at the NBA level

• A lot more switchable defensively then you would think

• Needs to get his turnovers down

• Would love to see him be more aggressive because when he is he looks amazing

• He is very thin, needs to add weight

• His IQ needs to improve along with his efficiency

• Expectation: ALL-NBA; Rick Barnes will be able to help him fix a lot of flaws over his season at Tennessee. He should grow into a good fluid scoring forward

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.
