Tennessee Vols Shine in NBA Draft

Two former Tennessee Volunteers, Nate Ament and Cameron Carr, made their NBA debut with first-round picks—Ament to Miami (traded to Milwaukee), Carr to New York (traded to Lakers). As the draft moves into the second round, three more Vols—Felix Okpara, Ja’Kobi Gillespie, and Tobe Awaka—are among ESPN’s top prospects. Their success highlights Tennessee’s elite player development and the grind it takes to reach the pros. With trades reshaping rosters and more Vols waiting their turn, the future is electric.
