Not me. I’ve probably been the only one that thinks Ament will go higher than the consensus. I’ll say it again, the Nets feel like the Ament team. If he makes it to 9, I think he will be in high consideration for the Mavs as well. Media and fans may have a clear “Top 9” which has been talked about a ton, even broken down into tiers, but every team will see it differently. Ament specifically could be 5 on one teams board and 15 on another teams. It only takes one to have a high grade on any of these guys and then all of a sudden the consensus “top 9” isn’t the “top 9”.
For Ament specifically, 1 average college season isn’t going to change every scouts opinion. Some, sure... But he has been on the watchlist for years and the full body of work will win out for some, if not most.
