2026 NBA draft thread

[dirkfansince1998]

I haven't delved into Ament much yet. What's the beef with his fit? At a glance, he looks like a good combo of size and ball-handling. Maybe a little lacking in explosiveness, but very few players have everything.

That's the thing. He is a measurements pick. Size and handling but otherwise really raw. Hasn't really translated to winning basketball. Each year we have teams that gamble on the upside of players with his build but it rarely works out (but if it does you have something special). Don't think the Mavs are in the position to make a super risky move like this.
