Tennessee Career
2025–2026 · F
Ament arrived at Tennessee as the highest-ranked recruit ever to sign with the program — the No. 4 overall player in the 2025 class — and delivered immediately, averaging 16.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists while starting all 35 games in his lone Rocky Top season.
Pro Journey
2026 Draft · 1st round, pick 13 · Miami Heat
The Miami Heat drafted Ament 13th overall in the 2026 NBA Draft, but his rights were traded to the Milwaukee Bucks as part of the blockbuster deal sending Giannis Antetokounmpo to Miami. He now begins his rookie season in Milwaukee.
Why Vol Nation Should Watch
Ament hasn't played an NBA regular-season game yet — the season tips off in October 2026 — but he's stepping into a Bucks roster in the middle of a major rebuild around a new core, which could mean an unusually fast path to real minutes for a rookie.
