Pick 6 may seem too high for most, but Wings with his size and potential don't grow on trees. IF he reaches that potential, nobody will be talking about it being a "reach". If you think in tiers instead of a player for player stack, I'd bet Ament is in tier 2 for some teams, Nets included? They need to hit a homerun the most IMO. For non-guards in tier 2, he's the best chance for that to happen, however small we think it might be...
Ament might be the most polarizing lottery player in the draft. Locked on Mavs Isaac just did his top 15 big board and Ament was not even on it. Personally I think if you are looking to be relevant Acuff makes way more sense. I don't think Ament has the ceiling others do, but even if he does it will take years to get there. I also think that would be a terrible spot to put him in. He already got overexposed at Tennessee. The last thing he needs is to get drafted too early and expected to be the guy as a rookie.
