Emoni Bates showed off his shooting skills and pro potential in front of NBA GMs on Day One of the 2023 NBA Draft Combine in Chicago at Wintrust Arena. 6’9 19 year old Bates is perhaps best known for being a high school basketball sensation in his home state of Michigan. He played a year of college ball at Memphis and another at Eastern Michigan. Emoni has been working towards this moment and should move up the NBA Draft boards after his performance. Check out these Ballislife highlights measuring his vertical leap, participating in game situations and lots of three point shooting drills. Bates finished second overall in three point shooting percentage.

It’s prolly better he goes a lil later get drafted by a better team with a good development program n sheesh who knows how good he could be
Mid range is deadly

memphis gotta get him..imagine Ja mentoring him?!
I’m happy things going well for him, he the real deal
He will go #2 in the Draft.
I can’t trust a hooper with hair extensions. Don’t love the game 🤦🏽♂️
Looks like kd out there sheesh 😅
a team that desperately needs a lights out no hesitation bucket getter are the 76ers.
The KD comparison is uncanny.💯
He’s going to be a steal in the draft.
His size and shooting will get him a roster spot. Average athlete, but naturally a skilled basketball player.
See how two faced folks is bash ja then come say I've been pulling for emoni 🤣 foh
Even if he goes G league I know for sure he'll have a starting spot in the NBA in 2 years
Looking good keep pushing!
I’m picking him number 1 y’all trippin
Pistons need him
Bates impresses the nba scouts 🔥
Has scoring ever been an issue for him tho?
do male coaches get to slap women on the ass in the wnba?
Yspilanti
A couple of months ago y’all were hating saying he ain’t going no where
OKC Please I Mean Please Get Him I’m Giddy Shai & JDub Oouuwweeee lol
I don’t celebrate thugs that are good at handling balls. Cheers
With the 23rd pick The Damian Lillard Blazers select Emoni Bates
Rip Hamilton 😢
future superstar !!!
If he gets drafted second round he will be steal of the draft in my opinion
footwork and body mechanic were horrible. Don't mind my opinion, I don't know anything about basketball just like watching it.
He brings the ball up to his shooting slot from really low. That could end up being an issue if he doesn't change it.
He is him bro
Ceiling Carmelo/B.I….. Floor Monk/cam reddish
Boy look like his ears musty
Jordan Clarkson-esk.
He’s definitely going to struggle his first few years which is gonna determine if he’s a role player or star
How he not a top 10 draft pick is the real ? Smh
man i wish terrance clark was still here, he was just a top talent that i havent seen in a long long time, and even today theres nobody like him
Sleeper of the draft!!!!
Bro no way he in the combine rn he was just in highschool not so long ago
His one dribble pull up looks JUST LIKE Kd lol
He reminds me of bones Hyland with shai Alexander height
I remember a few years ago he was the biggest prospect and on a magazine cover and the next generational athlete
Seems like he has that dog in him.
been watching emoni since he was in high school, bro has really been grinding and anyone who watched him has known he was destined for greatness he deserves this well done bro its only up from here!!
💪🏾
