Nate Ament question?

[vol4life1981]

Is Nate showing up for the Orange and White game a good sign? Thoughts?

Well to be fair, he was with two other guys that will not be coming back

 

[Legion of Doom]

Could not hurt think positively. I think boosters would pay the number he gave to come back aside from budget they have to work with.

I would love you know much that team would actually cost if somehow that was even realistic. $25 million? $30 million?

I’m terrible at knowing but I’ll give it a shot

Tanner (6)/Henderson (.50)/Clark(.25)
Ames (2.5)/Hill (3.5)
Harris (6)/Lundblade (3.5)/Green (.50)
Ament (7.5)/Brown (1.5)/Scott (.75)
Thiam (4.5)/Rubin (2)

That comes out to $39 million but obviously I don’t really have any clue how accurate those numbers would be

I love his game, but to be honest he could really use another year to develop his body. I believe at the end of the year we saw how injury prone he was because of the bigger guys putting a body on him.

I think he needs another year with Barnes. And with NIL he would be doing ok just by staying with the Vols one more year.

If you saw the one moment against Alabama that caused him to be compromised the rest of the season, you might have a different assessment. That was a nasty pileup for him because of the way his body was positioned. Yes, he took some physicality but did a great job of adjusting.

He def needs more work on his back to the basket iso post ups and off ball stuff, he has no bag there. He is at his best when facing the basket, ball in hand, getting downhill or stop and pops

Isn’t school still in session?

Yes for 4-5 more weeks. Ament needs to do some shoulder shrugs with heavy weight though lol. That is one thin set of neck and shoulders.

Boozer, Petersen nor Dybantsa haven't declared for NBA draft either, these kids got time to declare, no hurry.

I mean with the money they're making now if a kid really likes the college experience there isn't a rush to get to the league. As price tags go up, I can see eventually more and more kids electing to stay. Honestly, would be beneficial for the NBA if players like Nate developed for 3-4 years in college then went. Especially if he added 10-15 more pounds and maintained his athleticism with the weight.

Double bump this x1,000; sensible, shrewd, wise...

They actually can make more In college than their first contract unless a top 8 pick I believe is the number. Outside that college kid can make more now!

He has actually gained some since first game Duke … look at his photo team pic compared now.
