Rick Barnes expects Nate Ament to declare for draft: 'He's one of the top players in the country'

Rick Barnes expects Nate Ament to go through the NBA Draft process after his freshman season with Tennessee basketball . The Vols coach said Thursday said “there’s nothing to talk about” with Ament in regards to a decision because Barnes believes it is obvious. “The fact of the matter is I don’t see how he can’t go to the NBA because I think he’s one of the top players in the country,” Barnes said.
