Ament will improve

[GBO18]

This honestly surprises me in a week where he shot 12-30 from the field and only had 13 points against Vandy while Darius Acuff put up 49 on Bama, alone, playing all 50 minutes and only 1 TO. Also had 20 against Mizzou with 0 TOs.

Ament had a great game against OU. Just feels like Acuff had the better week and significantly better individual performance. Maybe he won SEC Player of the Week, though. Full disclosure, I haven't looked.

Haha of course Acuff won player of the week. Really should have gave him both.

In the last 4 games, Ament is 30-31 from the free throw line, that's crazy good

He did win POTW

Odd that I haven't heard any negative Ament comments even in his off game.
You guys still don't think he's worth $3-4M even if he takes us to 13-5 and SS or E8?

I wrote back in late November for ppl to have patience. I remembered and pointed out everybody going pitchforks on Kennedy Chandler and then he balled out down the stretch his true freshman year. Kennedy won MVP of SEC Tournament and VOLS won tournament. I'm hoping for a repeat from Ament.

.. and continued to get better all year. Trying not to type with orange shades. But the way he impacts games even if he isn’t scoring makes it hard not to think, if he stays healthy he won’t continue to progress, even at the highest level. Huge tri-level ceiling

.... Refs are less likely to call fouls on smaller players being physical guarding bigger players....

Do you really want to buy into this rationalization of Ament "getting mauled without calls all the time"? Asking for Zach Edey. Seriously, is it even true? Do you see the same pattern hold with other SEC teams? With the other top 10 super freshmen? Name the players.

I just stared practice that's been going on for decades. Nothing to buy into here. It happens

Those clowns have crawled back in the lack-of-basketball-knowledge hole they crawled out of. Don’t worry, they’ll come out with the first loss and/or bad game by Nate. Pay no attention to them. Not worth the time.
