There are a lot of opinions suggesting that Ament should not be a lottery pick, with some even arguing that he is not a first-round talent. However, he has shown the ability to guard both the perimeter and the paint, along with flashes of strong help-side rim protection. Offensively, he can shoot the three, get to the basket, and draw fouls, all while handling the ball well for his size.

He has not put everything together consistently, but he was playing through a bad ankle for the entire tournament, which likely impacted his performance. The tools are simply too undeniable to ignore. If Malauch was considered a top 10 pick, then Ament should be in that conversation as well.
