Heās mostly been just an effective 3pt shooter. Bad defense, no playmaking , poor ball handling. However The way he played in the championship game was impressive. He passed, had a nice block and was clutch. Iām excited to see what happens
Your right on all counts but remember heās 6ā9 running the 2 and 3 he donāt gotta have crazy bounce he already 2-3 inches taller than his match up emoni should not have went that liw
People and coaches criticizing WINGSPAN for a guy who has a Steph Curry-like release and range and is 6'9'' are STOOOPID. Period. For college to NBA transitions EVERYONE seems to forget about the god MJ. Bates ceiling is as high as HE wants it to be. These GMs need to do more MENTALITY RESEARCH and less hyper-critical, myopic physical data gathering. Anyone shooting like him at 6'9'' has the mission critical tools right now to be excel in the NBA. The only real questions are their MENTALITY- how much do they want to excel, are they willing to work. From all reports Bates is that guy mentally- staying after practice, tuning in to the coaches in game, showing development from game to game.
IT was proven that his wingspan was incorrect. HE measures at 6'9 1/4 height and 6'10 1/2 armspan… He had a "negative winspan" when he was measured as a 16 year old. His body isnt even done growing NOW; it definitely had a lot of growth since he was 16
Vertical jump can actually improve. The thing about vertical jump is how much your body can absorb upon landing, not so much strength to list off. That comes with building muscle and a stronger base.
He's the worst defender on the floor and refuses to pass. He is NOT going to work out in the NBA. You made a whole video because a guy can shoot in thr summer league.

He was the #1 player in his class before he got in trouble and all of a sudden everyone thinks he wonāt pan out because got in trouble? Thatās stupid! His game doesnāt translate to college itās translate to the pros. Spacing/iso isnāt a college game and āexpertsā think because he was in trouble and didnāt average 30 in college he was trash. Dumb dumbs!! Lol. Zach Lavine came off the bench and averaged 9pts at UCLA. Donāt trust the experts.
When will people stop with the stupid measurements nonsense, it means nothing in basketball, even means nothing in football, it means nothing in soccer, it's simply means nothing. This guy is burning with I told you so energy. I just hope he is not Kevin Porter take two. Porter will NEVER win a thing, way to selfish and arrogant.
Cleveland is not a small market city that's the stigma ESPN put on teams so they can keep teams like LA ,NY and Huston on top when we have baseball, basketball, football sports just like those cities
The NBA was Dead wrong to give up on this young man who is still 19 years old. Itās funny they expected a finished product at 17 18 years old thatās insane for him to be 49th in this Draft is silly. He definitely is not a great all around player yet but give him some time to grow up Damn.
Honestly this kid been had game since HS Iām only surprised that his gun charge didnāt stunt his growth but surprised NO WAY I been knew he was going to the NBA if he stayed out of trouble Bates a Dawg real supporters been can see that and he rep that #21 šŖš¾ šÆ
I didnāt ask for anyoneās expert opinion to know what he could do. When he was in high school I knew he would be like Kobe not in play style but because of his mindset. He wants to be the best.
Hes gonba be good. Seen his college games. Memphis and Eastern Michigan. Almost like KD with quick release and accuracy. I was hoping my Spurs drafted him in 2nd round. We got Sidy instead. He'll be good, too.
Gilbert Arenas said Emoni would cook on his podcast weeks before the draft. He said some guy's game translated to the NBA better than college- Emoni was his example.
his release is SO quick & that jumper is pure. he initially was destined for the D league for most of if not the entire year, and while if still think he'll start there, I think he'll be called up to the cavs sooner rather than later. GO CAVS!

He was an nba ready player since he was 14
It remains to be seen, but I'll say this. I don't see much difference between his player profile and Brandon Miller..
His wingspan isnāt shorter than his height stop spreading lies
Evan Mobleys brother Isiah went off for 28-11 also, we got some sleepers
Your right on all counts but remember heās 6ā9 running the 2 and 3 he donāt gotta have crazy bounce he already 2-3 inches taller than his match up emoni should not have went that liw
The summer league is not a good reference at all. You should know better.

If you think his game WON'T translate to the next level, then I'm not sure you're comprehending basketball š

I knew heād be a player when the Lakers Nation kept laughing at him all night of the draft. Guys who pretend to know donāt know.
He was listed at 6'10" mostly 6'9" he looks more like a strong 6'6"

He had one of the best pre draft workouts.
Yeah u guys got did I knew Emoni was a star this whole time
I knew he was going to be good. I was hoping the pistons would snag him, but knew they wouldnāt because of his off court issues.
If emoni gets solid mins he will win roty he has no fear you can't teach that.
they lied about bates and cam whiitmore aka medical report cam
Dude can flat out cook. Itās up to the Cavs to develop him
Must improve
ā¢body
ā¢ playmaking for others
ā¢ Defensively **

If you are a real nba fan or even a true hooper you should know the draft combine doesnāt determine how good someone is
The guy came to college at 17 š. He had to grow .
Shooters , shoot . Itās simple and heās a gamer
