Emoni Bates wanted to show off his playmaking ability in Cavs’ win vs. Bucks | NBA Summer League
ammani Bates he’s a scorer who took a little different approach as a playmaker early in this game he did he set the tone with his passing first he got his guys going he got them involved then he put on his scoring hat no problem I can make the tough one and he was consistent all night making the right reads getting guys going his team fed off it then he benefited off of their ball movement and their unselfishness and when you’re star players playing selfish it sets the tone for everybody else to do the same thing Monty Bates like so many players trying to find his way into to regular minutes in the NBA after playing 15 games as a rookie last season and theill has him am you guys dominated right from the tip what did you like most about the win uh I feel like we just came out on more energy than we did the first game and we all played together your playmaking ability really shined in this game is that something you’re focus on for sure just showing that I can be a three L scorer and then allaround player for sure thanks appreciate Youk [Music] [Applause] I’m [Applause]
Emoni Bates speaks after recording 18 PTS, 6 REB & 4 AST in just 20 minutes as the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Milwaukee Bucks, 112-81, in the NBA Summer League.

Free Bates how is he not bein given a chance
Imani Creates
I am so surprised the Cavs haven't signed him, that another team didn't sign him even if he was Restricted, and most importantly that he never got a chance in the NBA. I know he skinny but play him at SG and use his skills. He should get a chance at least. The Cavs are so talentless at guard/forward behind Mitchell/Garland
The Bulls should go after bro. Try to add him. Need more offensive dogs.
Nets need him
Free bates
Warriors could use him
Don't know why he working on playmaking when spida and garland are there. If they out ball gonna be levert and Mobley hands. Should really work on his shooting 1st. Many good college players come into nba not as good as other players and don't learn to shoot never stay long. Michael kidd gilchrist josh jackson list goes on and on.
Emoni is gonna be a beast sooner than later just keep watching
Give him time. He'll find a spot. There's a difference between the G League and the NBA.
He gain weight you can look at his built.

Hey TUFF if they let him COOK he can definitely give u buckets 🪣🪣🪣🏀🏀🏀
He need to be on the main roster this up coming season or trade him to a team that’s gon play him bruh a beast
Emoni's scoring ability is there. He is now cognizant that he has to be more well rounded to get minutes. I am sure his coaches have made that clear.
But he deserves credit for working on other things, since his ISO scoring ability got him to the nba.

His ability was never the question. The NBA is about image, and that gun charge makes him a risky investment. He will get his chance eventually, he just needs to keep working until that time.
If Emoni Bates ever decided to do Karate and became a Master at it. What would his name be? 🥋😳😂
He’s maturing nicely, going to be a solid player, I can see ⭐️ potential
Hell of a shooter
Seeing a lot of maturity
Hes a special guy he will do well not worried about him much
Keep on grinding and shining nephew
