2026 NBA draft thread

[mvossman]

When I break it down, even by your description, I don't see anything to excite me at all. 

'What can Ament do? He is fairly good at shooting FTs (79%). And he's kinda tall! And he plays where he isn't effective. And we can find an excuse why he's so meh and up-and-down (rather than he's in the playing range that drifts between some games that are solid (nothing spectacular) and some not-as-good games where he's quite meh).' 

Sure, one day he COULD become a good player. But from what I've seen, there's not a lot to distinguish him from the big bucket of players who are tall and who gurus hope might one day develop into a good player. It's still a bunch of hope imo, not much more.

To be fair, he gets to the line a lot, which is a legit skill that transfers well to the NBA.  Of course the reason its valuable is how efficient free throws are, which makes it all the more crazy that his TS% is so low (53%).
