Looking up Schmitz ranking SGA ahead of Trae and Sexton in the 2018 draft, some things stand out: He is enamored by wing span, finishing ability, and ability to play at his own pace. He didn't hold SGA's primary weakness as a long distance shooter against him, but focused on his build and game to succeed in the NBA.
If Schmitz has a strong say, I can't see them taking Ament given his finishing troubles. You can build up hope that a jump shot will fix itself for a high FT % guy, but to build up hope that his jump shot will improve + his finishing around the rim will improve dramatically seems way too much optimism, at least to sacrifice a 9th overall pick.
