Ament registered 23 points (7-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, two steals and one assist across 25 minutes in Wednesday's 110-91 Summer League win over Charlotte.
Ament broke through offensively, leading Milwaukee in scoring during a double-digit victory. Wednesday's outing was an encouraging step forward for the No. 13 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft after he was held to single figures in each of his first three Summer League appearances. The Tennessee product is considered a raw prospect, but Ament figures to receive significant opportunities during his rookie campaign with a rebuilding Bucks squad.

Bucks' Nate Ament: Heading to Milwaukee
Rotowire
Ament was selected by the Bucks with the No. 13 overall selection in the 2026 NBA Draft.
Ament appeared in 35 games for Tennessee in his lone college campaign, averaging 16.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.6 blocks while shooting 39.9 percent from the field in 29.7 minutes per tilt. The 6-foot-10 forward earned Second-Team All-SEC and SEC All-Freshman Team honors for the Volunteers. Ament will be competing with Jaime Jaquez and Kyle Kuzma for minutes in Milwaukee, so it'll be interesting to see how the rookie's role develops over training camp.
