What happened: Milwaukee selected Nate Ament with the 13th overall pick of the 2026 NBA Draft. Ament joins the Bucks and addressed the moment in remarks alongside Lauren Green after his name was called.

Why it matters: The pick lands as Milwaukee reshapes its roster following the franchise-altering trade that sent Giannis Antetokounmpo to Miami. Ament gives the Bucks a young building block to develop as the team turns toward its next era heading into the 2026-27 season.

What to watch: Watch for how Ament fits into Milwaukee's rotation plans and summer league reps as the Bucks integrate their incoming draft class.
