Bates is a real good player with the right size and talent! I don’t know why people talking bad about him saying he will never play in the nba!!! Don’t you guys understand that bates is getting $100,000 + to play in the G League a season… which is more then what 99% black men in America are making! I make $120,000 but I work hard! If I could play basketball and make $70,000 a season, I’ll quite my current job making $120,000. EMONI BATES is a pro player who gets payed to play what he loves! Keep grinding Emoni Bates!
Cav 🗑 GM. Kid has more talent than most your nameless bum roster. Couldn't spot talent with his life on the line. Emoni already had one of the greatest performances in G league history. He's obviously capable. 6'8 minimum. Dumb range. This world is blind.
I like how completely ignored that topic and started talking about baseball. 😂😂😂 And Jay calling Bates a streetball player was an ignorant statement that I hope Bates makes him eat.
So……. We watched Niang look puggy and non athletic last season and Struss was horrible!!! And we have to look at them all next season SMH Bates deserves more respect!!!
Every player you named is better at the NBA level than Bates. Why do yall comment knowing full well you don’t watch the games? Bates can’t shoot, pass or defend and literally is thinner than a guard, what is even being discussed here?
Emoni put in the work and added a good amount of muscle. Now he needs to focus on improving his defense and on court decision making. Guy has an absolutely beautiful shot.
Dont like it all but im sure there's more to the story. Great shooter but he definitely has to expand his game beyond that. Reading the defense, using the screens, defensive/offensive awareness. Hopefully this signals their commitment to him as he is a restricted free agent.
Facts. Me too. He's only 20 but this could definitely be a ploy not to pay him. If he averages even 10 points and makes shots in the playoffs he could be worth 100 M's just look at P Williams with the bulls. But honestly he does need to get more skilled but I definitely think this is a ploy to hide him.
@@cochisechicago if this is true then he’s good as gone and I’ll forever disagree with the franchise they make questionable decision after questionable decision
@@cochisechicagoif your argument for playing Bates is based on another player getting paid who clearly has NBA level athleticism, defense and can play multiple positions, you’re a CASUAL. Bates can’t shoot consistently, defend or pass at the NBA level.
@@Crackdealerfr He was good this past year. A fantastic 51% from the field. His shooting from 3 still needs a little work no doubt but it ain’t that bad. He was like 33% from three or what? He was like 25% from when we drafted him. And I know he’s not gonna be in the rotation.. most 56th overall picks aren’t as rookies. I just think he’s a good backup to have on the team. He a good defender as well. Could turn out to be a solid NBA role player.
I just hope they have his best interest in mind. Bulls paid P Williams 100 M for averaging 10 points. I dont think he's worth that but I hope the Cav's arent trying to hold him back and hide him.
Idiotic draft choice even for a second rounder. 2 or 3 guys drafted after him have turned out to be bench/starter material. Another LOSALIERS DRAFT PICK ROFLMAO
@@Eric-pg4zsname them then! I’ll bet they all have played more meaningful NBA minutes and are proven better than Emoni. Only people who watch mixtapes think he’s an NBA player worthy of minutes
My point wasn’t about talking about myself. I showing people that life is not microwaveable and that nobody can dictate another man’s success. It’s not about me, it’s about understanding that’s it’s not all about talent. Qualified people are overlooked for opportunities in everyday. Don’t give up. Keep working. It doesn’t happen over night.
FACTS! I had to FAST FORWARD through all that OPRAH SUPER SOUL SUNDAY talking BS before we got to the THESIS of the topic at hand. If we wanted to hear all that then we’d watch the OWN Network instead💯😂😂😂
LUKE TRAVERS HERE WE COME

@@juicelord4792 lmao. You have never played basketball and you dont watch basketball. If you bet you're loosing your shirt.
Struss played well even if his shot wasn’t falling though, he’s much better than bates. Even niang is much better than bates.
@@juicelord4792bates can shoot
Emoni put in the work and added a good amount of muscle. Now he needs to focus on improving his defense and on court decision making. Guy has an absolutely beautiful shot.
I see him as a bust
@@jamesgamboa7192hard to be a bust in second round but I know what you mean. Not looking like he’ll be a nba player. Time will tell
But he doesn't have good shooting numbers, not good enough, anyway.
@@jamesgamboa7192why tf did people like those comment? He was a second rounder
Dont like it all but im sure there's more to the story. Great shooter but he definitely has to expand his game beyond that. Reading the defense, using the screens, defensive/offensive awareness. Hopefully this signals their commitment to him as he is a restricted free agent.

@@juicelord4792 You're really a miserable person to be honest. So much hate. You need to get you girl and get you a hug.
Respect, G. Loved to hear your your story.
Nobody asked him to talk about himself for 5 god damn minutes.
Y'all think this means they sign Luke Travers to the 15 man roster? I hope so
Brother, Travers is nowhere near NBA ready.
@@Crackdealerfr He was good this past year. A fantastic 51% from the field. His shooting from 3 still needs a little work no doubt but it ain’t that bad. He was like 33% from three or what?

@@Crackdealerfr To put it simply, Travers is a good basketball player.
@@Gurusson-qr5np Luke Travers in the 27 games of NBL season 2022/2023 hit 32 out of 78 3 pointers or 0.405%.
@@Gurusson-qr5npI think he has the skills to be a good role player but not the talent. It seems he may never make the leap
Fedor! Damn, man just laid down a sermon. I have new mad respect for Fedor. Bates just gotta keep on grindin’.
if Bates becomes a above avg defender he'll have staying power in the league
Damn! GBush was speaking facts!
Would love to hear WHY he isn't getting an opportunity. Does anyone have any insight?
Chicken mc nuggetes couldn't wait to tell that news smdh let's go Bates
G Bush made me shut this off and get to my dreams.. that take was 🔥🔥
That's all Bates is.....a damn G LEAGUER
Wow more rich people hate from Bull. 😔
Another dumb decision by the Cavs, no one can tell me emoni isn’t better then George niaug
Emoni is not better player then George Niang.
If no one can tell you that then you’re a casual who clearly doesn’t watch games. Bates is cooked
I just hope they have his best interest in mind. Bulls paid P Williams 100 M for averaging 10 points. I dont think he's worth that but I hope the Cav's arent trying to hold him back and hide him.
He's still pencil thin. He still needs to put on another 20 lbs at least.
G is 6-5??
He needs to go to another team. The cavs don’t develop well
Yup. This is a slave deal.
Cavs need give a change play emani bates small forward nba

You're lame.
Dumb move!!
Nigga he's terrible what are you on lol
Emoni is so overrated from people who only watch hoop mix tape
He’s better then current players on the roster
@@Eric-pg4zsname them then! I’ll bet they all have played more meaningful NBA minutes and are proven better than Emoni. Only people who watch mixtapes think he’s an NBA player worthy of minutes
@@Eric-pg4zs How? in what way is he better?
G bush gets annoying he’s does so much bull shit like stop talking it’s about emoni not u
Bro why is G taking about himself so damn much. Get to the fing point.
Bro really just spent half the segment hyping himself up and talking about his struggles.
