Nate Ament named potential No. 1 pick for 2026 NBA draft

Tennessee men's basketball star Nate Ament is already making waves among basketball fans and experts. ESPN's Jeremy Woo and Jonathan Givony named Ament alongside three other players fighting for the top pick in the 2026 NBA draft.

They included Kansas' Darryn Peterson, incoming BYU freshman A.J. Dybantsa and Duke signee Cameron Boozer.

"A late bloomer, Ament has grown significantly in the past year, filling out his frame at 6-11," Givony wrote.
"He’s a tremendous shotmaker; he has improved his passing and defensive versatility; and his ability to get a shot off almost at will gives him perhaps the highest upside of any prospect in this class. He’ll be a focal point at Tennessee, allowing NBA teams to evaluate whether he can emerge as a consistently efficient, winning player in a challenging SEC."

Ranked as a four-star player in the class of 2025, Ament is known for his fluidity, shot-making prowess, defensive versatility, and scoring ability.

The 6-11 forward can become Tennessee's first No. 1 pick in an NBA draft. Tom Boerwinkle remains the only Volunteer product to come close, after being selected fourth in the 1968 draft.
