Bucks to receive a forward from Tennessee from Heat in NBA Draft<\/p>\n

The 13th pick is part of the reported trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo.<\/p>\n

The first of many picks the Milwaukee Bucks received from the Miami Heat in the reported trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo<\/a> has been made.<\/p>\n

The Milwaukee Bucks will receive Nate Ament, a forward from Tennessee, once the trade is made official. Miami selected Ament for Milwaukee with the 13th overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.<\/p>\n

The earliest the trade can be completed is July 6, but this is essentially a done deal for Ament to begin his career in Milwaukee.<\/p>\n

The 6-foot-10 forward spent just one season at Tennessee, averaging 16.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 35 games. He shot 39% from the field and 33% from three for the Vols last year.<\/p>\n

Ament was voted to the All-SEC Second Team and the SEC All-Freshman team following his first year in college hoops. He also set the program records for made free throws (196) and single-season free-throw attempts (248) by a freshman. Ament scored the third-most total points (584) by a first-year Vol in program history.<\/p>\n

To add on to the accolades, he was named a finalist for the Julius Erving Award, which recognizes the nation’s top small forward.<\/p>\n

This is the second freshman the Milwaukee Bucks selected in the 2026 Draft. Milwaukee selected Brayden Burries<\/a>, a guard from Arizona, with the 10th pick in the draft.<\/p>\n

The Bucks do not have any 2nd round picks in the draft, as of Tuesday night. A trade could change things.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bucks to receive a forward from Tennessee from Heat in NBA Draft The 13th pick is part of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":722413,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[64],"tags":[310782,54639,24796,119322,6251,15635,88159,44928,5460,18426,211586,5967,8173,360,241620,355,13329,13544,17589,99,2219,447,310783],"class_list":["post-722412","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-13th-pick","tag-54639","tag-assist","tag-buck","tag-bucks","tag-field","tag-first-year","tag-freshman","tag-game","tag-giannis","tag-giannis-trade","tag-heat","tag-miami-heat","tag-milwaukee-bucks","tag-nate-ament","tag-nba","tag-nba-draft","tag-point","tag-rebound","tag-sports","tag-tennessee","tag-trade","tag-vol-last-year"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/722412","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=722412"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/722412\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/722413"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=722412"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=722412"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=722412"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
