Ja morant from Wish.
I wanna see how he plays when his shot is not falling..so far he looks good though!! He looks decent..I need to see more!
His passing and defending alot now
Right now he is about 6'9 (listed at 6'8 in a few places) and 190 lbs. When he is passing for 6'10 and his weight is closer to 210 lbs., he is gonna be dunking on people more often.
HE has the balance and fluidity. HE just needs to fill out, get used to his body and get confidence in his soon to come strength. These things make a big difference in perceived athleticism.
2 years from now, he will be near 210 lbs and plays like that and-1 will be poster dunks instead of finger rolls.
Steal of the draft
Emoni should have gone #3 in the draft. Congratulations to Cleveland
The smile on his face after that block he love this shit ready to see him in the league
No defense
WHAT NOW 👂
At one point scouts were calling Emoni the next super-prospect. Looks like he’s finally ready to make good on that potential!
Easily fit for today's NBA. Not sure why so many teams pass on him. Instant offense. Draft steal of the year
stop letting these criminals in the NBA. they dont learn from ja smh
The passing and defense really stand out for me! We knew he could be a real scoring threat, with those intangibles he could get the minutes then the talent could have him take over as a true star
Man him that white boy and Mobley going to be a problem off of the cavs bench
This is why all that vertical and wingspan talk in the nba doesn’t always matter… 🤷🏾♂️
Caris Levert going to have to stay consistent with Emoni on the squad.
ITS FUNNY JJ REDDICK IS ON THE CALL BUT ON DRAFT NIGHT HE DIDNT HAVE MUCH NICE THINGS TO SAY ABOUT BATES
I never forgot about my boy.he the one
he looks so happy this is where he belongs.
so who's better , bates or whitmore?
Emoni said he playing for a roster spot, not a 2 way contract 💪
He’s definitely was post to be a laker damnnn
Gilbert arenas said it first, “there aren’t 48 guys better than emoni bates in this draft”. If you’re drafting based on talent and potential, there is no reason he slips out of the lottery let alone the first round and almost the draft
Steal of the draft!
Yoo, he’s fast Af
He easily a top 10 pick. That drama really sent him back and nobody wanted to draft. Learn your lesson from Ja and come back bro!
E MONEY 💸
Bates > Brandon Miller
First Round Talent. Should em’ who they passed up on Emoni!!
