Tall wings that are confident shooters and ball handlers rarely fail in this era. They can naturally play with anybody. Idk why y’all are acting like he doesn’t fit that description.
Players with emoni's game can hardly play with anybody. He needs freedom to play his game but hes not talented or good enough to play his game at the next level. His height means nothing bc he just has a long neck. He has the length of someone who's closer to 6'3-6'4. His handles dont even create space. The overwhelming number of his jump shots are contested and that's at low level college ball. Then there's his driving ability. He couldn't beat these same low college players off the bounce. I dont see coaches wanting to coach him and I dont see players wanting to play with him. I see him going undrafted and ending up somewhere in asia in 2 years. I do t even think low level europe would want him bc he looks uncoachable and plays such a losing brand of basketball. China would love him tho.
@@melomanace3415 Tall wings that are catch & shoot threats while also being able to handle in P&R can literally play with anybody. You’re trying too hard to sound smart.
@@melomanace3415 He’ll get drafted. Remember, the NBA scouts value youth A LOT! More than skill. If the NBA teams drafted SOLEY based on skill, the whole 1st round would be juniors and seniors. Bates left HS a year early. He’s still 19. He’ll get drafted based on upside. He doesn’t know what he is yet. Calm down. Every year lots of project players are drafted.
He's awesome. I never root for the lakers for anything but I want him to be next to lebron james next year. All the off court stuff people are worried about won't be a question when he's on lebrons team. And the amount of open shots he would get would be insane. He didn't take a single open shot all season and he was still absolute water. I would take him first round but seems like they could get him in the second if they wanted to. No idea what people don't see.
He has a lot to prove , he might start slow while showing a lot of potential , I can see him having a similar start to a Brandin Ingram and even comp to him , maybe 3 4 years and all of a sudden bates has a bag of tricks and is a legit NBA player. All depends on him tho , how hungry is he.
4:12 to 4:17 how he needs to learn to play with cavs , he has to run run run and take advantage of Garland passing him those looks , if he can become stronger and better defender , and be a mover who can shoot off ball cause he has the shot and release for it the cavs might just hit a home run. Congrats young fella but word of advice would be / know your place / play your role and earn more from there but you can still star at 16 points a game , 7 boards , 3 to 4 assist and 2 steals and a block. Do the lottle things , hustle , defend and rebound to earn your spot , hit the gym and show the world you still that top 10 talent.
@nickolazcarters character issues. Durant, Wemby, Chet are all skinny. He's like a baby KD. The kid is a star idgaf. Nba GMs are retarded. He's too good lol
Quick release deep range offensive weapon I hope he goes where they are projecting him in the draft. Watching this i see perfect fit for him on the the wolves a plug in scoring machine off the bench a guy that is used to having the ball in his hands and being a primary scoring option, like the potential on offense would love him to go to the wolves at 53rd.
I love how they don’t put any other stats on the thumbnail than his scoring. Scoring 19 and contributing nothing else for a mid major team is not impressive at all. And they make sure not to put up his percentages lol
Why are you looking for things to be negative about? Remember, the guy left HS a year early. He is 19 averaging 19 for a mid major team…that’s impressive. Hell yeah GMs are gonna take a look. Are you crazy? Trust me, there’s a bunch of 5 ⭐️ kids in the portal who left a big program to join a smaller school thinking they’ll dominate. Most of em realize it don’t work that way.
@@jemazondo9331 Stop being a dum dum. That EMU was 8-23 and second to last in that conference. The kid needs to learn how to utilize his skills in a team format .
@@greggcrawford124 How am I being the dumb one when he's literally on NBA teams' lists of best young prospects? Idk why you're coming at me for. Go look. They're not looking at the team record, they're looking at the individual.
@@jemazondo9331 Name the teams please? Cause I watched about 90 % of EMU games and they were terrible. This young man is going to have to work to get playing time or stay in the league
He needs to go to a quality franchise with great coaching like Spurs, Denver, or Golden State. Slipping in The draft might be a blessing in disguise. He won’t be thrown out there and asked to be that guy. He’ll be able to sit and learn on a good team and not ruin his confidence. BTW I know he needs to work on his efficiency but he has a soft jump shot with plenty of range and the height and vertical to shoot over most defenders
Still Young mini KD 2.0... Emoni Bates - ht 6' 8' - 6' 9' / wingspan - 6' 9' KD - ht 6' 10' / wingspan - 7' 5' Scoring Game - Identical. Cavs captured one of the BIGGEST steals in the past decade.
This shot style doesn't translate well the first year and a half in the NBA but he looks like another Jeremy grant, he may develop a little bit faster .
His jump shot is as quick as Steph and Carmello. He is a Bouncier Ingram, with Morant's swag. he needs the right environment to succeed. I would have loved to see him in Milwaukee with Giannis but NBA Gm's are stupid smh
Only thing wrong with the kid is he gets too overly excited on every single play, which leads me to believe that he'll be a technical foul machine in the nba.
Except he didn’t peak lol he’s 19 and one of the best young prospects in the draft, especially with the way he’s been performing at the combine. Stop being so quick to count ppl out he’s a teenager he got a lot of work to put in so let him put in the work and stop dick ridin wit no license
Great scorer even if he don’t get drafted high to a sorry team. He could get drafted to a great team. I rather get drafted to a winning franchise unless ima top 3 pick
Would love too see him on the cavs
Got em 😎
@@ezekielstaaf4770let’s gooooo
n u got him
my boy spoke it into existence
YESSSSSIRRRRRR LET'S GO CAVS 💯💯💯
Who’s here after cavs picked him up yo see if he’s good
Me 😂
Better than Okoro
He was the #1 player in the nation coming out of high school

He has a quick release on his 3 point shot. 👍👍
yeah reminds me of Steph and Carmello. He is a Bouncier Ingram
@@LWx6gamingI think cavs should use him like mpj on the nuggets
who’s here after the cavs pick 💪
I like the fact when he takes his 3s he shooting from nba range even tho he could take closer 3s, will adapt to shooting in the nba in no time💯
Welcome to Cleveland!! Young core just got crazier

Man called this shit
Cavs need a SF 😢 good height to em and he's sharp from deep
They’re picking 49…not sure if he falls that far despite his issues.
let's go bro
Cavs management heard you bro
Welcome to cleveland ❤️💛
Let's Go Cavs
go cavs nice pick😃😃😃
Pistons better get him!
He would be better off getting as far away from his homies as possible, so no to Detroit.
Welcome to Cleveland Cavaliers 🎉🎉🎉
🗣️WELCOME TO THE CAVS
Rookie of the year
CAVS
Welcome to Cleveland
bruh how did he fell off to 49 lmao
Of the court and "character" issues
Skinny

Welcome to THE LAND bring us another chip .!! Dude has talent !!!
warriors drafting him at 19
Talent is obviously there. Hope he has the discipline and character to become a superstar in the NBA
Emoni is a great player deadly shooter
I think he will have a really good outing at Summer League, but as far as cracking the rotation on the Cavs instantly i don't see it right now
Who else here after the cavs took him?
Emoni Bates you are a CAV
Great range and quick release. I would have liked to have seen highlights of him passing and setting up his teammates.
he's not a point guard so thats not really that importance. average passing skills would suffice
@@JackTheStrippa The request was based on seeing teamwork. Some players are a blackhole on offense.
Looks like a pure scorer that can kick the ball out. His vision is lacking
He good too jumpshot happy

Swear all his shots look like bad shots
same as kobe
@@cameronjordan2705 how????
@@SundayPagan in a good way
It’s a reason he shot 40.5%
@@blvck5943 that’s a good percentage

If he goes to golden state he’s a superstar 💯
Spurs to
Im really shocked on how fast his release is. I thought his pace was slower based on his size and his build. Interesting nba prospect
Is this guy shot like that forreal quick release no follow through interesting .. he will be the next Darius Miles
Best player in the draft idc what anyone says
Cavs lock in and get this man
Still Young mini KD 2.0...
Emoni Bates - ht 6' 8' - 6' 9' / wingspan - 6' 9'
KD - ht 6' 10' / wingspan - 7' 5'
Scoring Game - Identical.
Cavs captured one of the BIGGEST steals in the past decade.
Kinda remind me of Kd game I can see him shooting at a high level
lakers second round pick
Emoni "Master" Bates
My Cavs 39th pick
We have the 49th not the 39th.
Yeah my Bad but im call it
All the high lights looks like his team got blew out alot
He’s a wait and see player , he look ready for NBA but no competition here in this league so I’ll wait and see
Pistons should draft him
Emoni bates is gonna be an all star by age 23
Superstar
Bro has kd like scoring ability
Atlanta come on take the risk
Bro like a taller Damian Lillard
2nd round
if he puts on weight and becomes a better defender i can see him being like a desmond bane type player
Bones hayland 🥺🔥
Not even close
@@smileytyquan Holy smokes 🔥
Remember Desmond bane The arms are also short but play well
He got some bones hyland in him forsure
EB21 WELCOME TO CAVS
I hope the pistons get him
either a star or bust no in between
How can he be a bust at pick 49
Denver need him
Bruh ball like kobe
I wish they showed him play some defense 😕
This shot style doesn't translate well the first year and a half in the NBA but he looks like another Jeremy grant, he may develop a little bit faster .
i was just saying that... he doesnt even have a follow thru form on his shot.. that style wont last long.. i seen this before
@@kenquantasb816you have to follow thru in order to be able to shoot? Tf is wrong with these people😭

lakers should draft him
Only thing wrong with the kid is he gets too overly excited on every single play, which leads me to believe that he'll be a technical foul machine in the nba.
I noticed that too, the NBA refs are gonna have a blast with him 😂
Warrior or Pistons
I see some kd move
Should the lakers sign him?
Hopefully the LA Lakers pick him up!
Terrible pickup for the lakers. What we need is wing defenders that can knock down shots in half court sets
@@llkob3245 dude gonna be a second round pick or undrafted my guy LA could use a shot creator like him
Bates is draft to Phoenix Suns for help kd and booker
Absolutely
welcome to okc
If he falls 47th Lakers better not pass up on him. Also I don’t think he’ll fall that low
49th and lakers pass up on him 😂
This man GOATED he better go top 3 in the draft 🔥🔥🐐🐐
Lmfao he might not even get drafted, bud.
Emoni is a walking L. 😂
@@airbosna7518Cavs just got him, Bud.
go cavs
Crazy to think that this kid peaked at like 15.😂
Except he didn’t peak lol he’s 19 and one of the best young prospects in the draft, especially with the way he’s been performing at the combine. Stop being so quick to count ppl out he’s a teenager he got a lot of work to put in so let him put in the work and stop dick ridin wit no license
Bad take
40% fg 🤮
Lmfaooooooo
Phx need to get him
Not hating ,I don’t think he will go far.
BJ Boston 2.0
Suns at 52
My favorite player
this would be a great nuggets draft pick
hawks
Have him if you want, nobody else does.
Memphis
Future Boston Celtics ☘️🔥
Pistons
Few years after the draft they gon be wishing they took him at 5
CAV
Great scorer even if he don’t get drafted high to a sorry team. He could get drafted to a great team. I rather get drafted to a winning franchise unless ima top 3 pick
Baby KD
Tbh I don’t see it. Just cuz he 6’9 and shoot don’t make him KD. The efficiency and shot selection isn’t even close
This video was so sloppily made
