Ja n Emoni on the same team 😂 might b crazy
So Michigan sucks😂
Every car he borrows, he better check to see if there are any unregistered guns hidden in it somewhere. He is going to make million$ if he stays away from BS people. Emoni, get a good financial guy/gal, too. You have a future; don't screw it up.
Fastest jumpshot that I have ever seen
High school his talent and skill exceeded his competition. College is where iron sharpens iron to see how well he compares to other skilled athletes. His game and style might be better suited for the league even, cause he plays similarly to a healthy Michael Porter Jr in Denver but with another year to grow, work and learn.
Nothing but pro moves. Stay healthy g
This dude is nice nice 😂😂 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Asking him to play anything higher than SF is built for him to fail. His frame, quickness and defenses can easily transition to a NBA shooting guard.
HE IS TOUGH
Bruh!!

Nice season start for a felon
if the raps can draft him well turn him into a beast
Very impressive
Wish the kid the best. Seen him grow up in Michigan and looks like he's back playing at the level that was expected. At the same time, annoying af watching him play, talking sh* every minute, etc. At some point the hype really got to him and it seems like the people around him instead of keeping him grounded did the opposite. Hope I'm wrong but not confident this kid will stay out of trouble in the future.
Nice. He needs to change his environment. Talented, but he needs focus and I’m not sure he can do that at home
Him and Noah played great. Emoni has always had the talent. He’s going to score in bunches this year. He can be a lottery pick because he has talent, and he’s only 18. NBA needs scorers and a GM will take a chance on him.
Y’all gotta remember he wasn’t draft skinks last year. He is this year
I’m sold
They lost….
Looks great! But how do you have 0 assists?
Go Blue. Great game
Great to see him playing well again because the drop off in his hype was one of the steepest I’ve seen. He’s only 18 he can get it back
That year of college experience made him even better a player at 18 years old.. he'll be a top 5 pick long as he keeps this aggressive play up. He's got the talent.
HES’S BACK
You can see his growth, he had no pace or any driving and finish strength at Memphis…he looks to have gained that and with his confidence on high he shooting more efficiently too
Love this kid keep proving them wrong
Next game he will have about 7 point and 4 rebounds. It’s just what he is …
He has the green light at Eastern Michigan
📈 going up! I wanted him to make those 3s so bad at the end … but him and Farrakhan went off regardless 🔥
