Four days after the Milwaukee Bucks selected Brayden Burries and Nate Ament in the 2026 NBA Draft, they received a warm welcome from the city. Both threw out the ceremonial first pitch at Miller Park before the Brewers played against the Chicago Cubs on Friday.
It's surely been a difficult time for the Bucks this past week. They witnessed the trade of Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Miami Heat , which has become one of the most consequential trades in NBA history. Thereby leaving the Bucks in a position to rebuild from the ground up with new head coach Taylor Jenkins leading the way.

Nevertheless, despite Milwaukee perhaps missing out on other options , the fans in the stands expressed their gratitude. Both players exemplify the mindset of building from the bottom up that meets the organization's moment.
Additionally, Burries and Ament each are highly touted players. Both are known for their versatility. Burries was the No. 10 pick out of the University of Arizona. He commands presence on the offensive end with his shooting and court vision. Plus, Burries is a solid playmaker, rebounder, and defender. He averaged 16.1 points and 4.9 rebounds per game at Arizona this past year.
Meanwhile, Ament was the No.13 pick out of the University of Tennessee. Originally selected by the Heat, before being traded to Milwaukee. At 6-foot-10, he provides size and length while also being agile in spacing the floor. In his only year at Tennessee, Ament finished with 584 total points, the third most by a freshman in program history.
