Tennessee forward Nate Ament’s representatives are split on whether he should stay in college or go to the NBA, per @KevinOConnor Yahoo Sports senior NBA analyst Kevin O’Connor revealed his most recent mock draft on Wednesday, and provided new intel on #Vols forward Nate Ament. “League front office executives tell me that his agency, LIFT Sports Management, is split on the decision because they believe that Ament could be the No. 1 pick in 2027,” wrote O’Connor. “If Ament falls outside of the lottery, he’d be playing for less money this year and potentially hurting his future earnings.” O’Connor slated Ament at No. 18 to the Charlotte Hornets in his updated mock. “For financial reasons it may make sense to return, and more importantly, for his own development to get one more year to improve physically and progress his skills,” O’Connor continued. The six-foot-10 forward averaged 16.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 2.3 assists on 40% shooting in 35 games this season.

Only 1 road win out of 8 tries . Game 2’s will show a different story. Always does. @NBA
