Ament averages 6.8 free throw attempts per game and has the 4th most in the SEC this season.
He has a free throw rate of 0.618, which is higher than AJ Dybantsa's 0.612 and almost to the level of Caleb Wilson's 0.632.

His body is a work in progress and is going to take a couple more years to mature. Depending on how well that goes, Nate's a versatile, multi-dimensional offensive player, and he has potential to have a 2-way impact. He's just running a year or two behind the top prospects in this class physically.
His jumper is a bit of a set shot or push shot, which is a habit that some high school players use to compensate for a lack of strength. He'll need to rework that in the NBA and both tighten the motion and speed of his release, but that becomes possible if he adds strength.
Nate isn't the same as Risacher. Nate can change speeds, change directions and change hands handling the ball. He can make reads and deliver high-level passes, though his processing speed is a bit slow. Nate should be able to play in pick-and-roll.
I still think he has a high pedigree, and I still think someone will draft him in the lottery. I think the Jazz are going to take a serious look at him if they end up drafting in the 6-8 range. He's got more playmaking potential than the Jazz's other big wings (Ace & Lauri). If everything goes right, and I mean very right, he could eventually become a #1 option for a team. He just isn't a sure thing like the top players in this class.

Risacher is a thousand times better right now. He's exceptional at off ball actions and defensively, he's tremendous if you watch the film. Offensively on the ball, he's pretty bad and inconsistent but he does have some upside, just needs a lot of work. I don't see an offensive star but he could be a high end role player offensively when he gets to his peak.
I wouldn't take Ament right now unless I plan on having him in the Gleague. I honestly think he has the upside to be a legit #1 option but he's years away physically. That said, he has the upside. He's needs to return to Tennessee.

I have Ament as a higher level prospect than Risacher. Here is some of Ament's tape from yesterday. Ament shows more decision-making and creation of the dribble.

He still has issues with physicality, but the shooting touch is looking a bit better and his decision-making is quicker. This probably signals that he will have a similarly difficult adjustment to NBA physicality and speed.

I'd take the gamble once the top 7 or 8 guys are off the board. It will take a while for him to get going, but I think he has decent potential.
