Milwaukee will select Tennessee freshman Nate Ament with the No. 13 pick, source told @thefieldof68.
The 6-10, 210-pound forward averaged 16.7 points and 6.3 boards this past season.
High upside guy.
This broadly underscores why Bucks canโt rush into a trade of the greatest player in franchise history. Getting closer to draft necessarily forces all the potential suitors to get serious โ you generally wouldnโt see a trade like this sooner than a few days before draft.
Look, I 100% agree that the Bucks have internal problems and have botched MULTIPLE important decisions in the last several years, but this is so effing childish.

This all would have been so much better if Giannis had asked out publicly in June, which would have been completely understandable given where the franchise was after Dame blew his achilles. And yet.
I broke my rule. I always say you gotta pick Wisconsin to lose one round earlier than it reasonably should, but here I convinced myself OF COURSE they'll beat High Point...
