Tennessee's Nate Ament projected to land with a recent NBA champion led by 2-time MVP

For Ament, the focus now shifts to where he could end up at the next level. There is growing belief that he could land with the Milwaukee Bucks and potentially play alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo.

“The Bucks should take a swing to jump-start their new era, whether or not Giannis Antetokounmpo is part of it,” O’Connor wrote. “Players who can handle, shoot off the dribble, and stand at 6-foot-10 don’t grow on trees. This physical foundation kept Ament in lottery consideration even after a dreadful start to his freshman season when he struggled to score efficiently and make an impact defensively,” O’Connor wrote.

Ament could be a strong fit in Milwaukee, especially because he would give the Bucks even more length alongside Antetokounmpo and Myles Turner. He is also a capable ball-handler who has improved at creating space and getting to his spots offensively.

A lineup featuring Ament at the three could be a major boost for Milwaukee. However, if Antetokounmpo were to request a trade, Ament could quickly transition into becoming the team’s primary power forward moving forward.
