2026 NBA draft thread

[hakeemfaan]

A player with Ament's style of play should at least be a solid finisher around the rim. You can build upon that and slowly work your way out to the 3-point line. But that's not the case. He actually is one of the worst finishers in all of college basketball. Shooting 51% around the rim. For comparisation. People are concerned about Acuff and Wagler because they aren't the best finishers and they shoot ~59% around the rim and actually get there more often than Ament.

None of these guys are finished guys. A couple of years around NBA trainers and little bit of weight could make a lot of difference.  Could.  That’s why it is so difficult to project. I am also going by the feeling that Wagler and Acuff will be gone. I have a sinking feeling  the Mavs are going to slip in the draft. Given all that, Phillon or Ament would still be a win imo.
