He's on the cover of Sports Illustrated and younger than LeBron was when he was on it.

The kid is a ballhog, and a very arrogant player. Once his peers have a physical development. Let's see if he can still dominate. I think Mickey Williams is just the better player. They are saying the same thing about Wiggins a couple of years ago.

No. He is only averaging 11.5 ppg on 38.5 FG%. But he is a 17 years old playing in the NCAA. I think his ceiling is a poor man's Brandon Ingram

11.5 ppg on 38.5 FG%

:oldlol:

This is exactly why I started out as a LeBron hater. When I saw the hype surrounding him and people talking that teams should tank in order to get the #1 pick for a straight-out-of-high-school player as early as 2001, not just one but two seasons before he would be drafted, I thought what the F did this kid do to deserve all this hype.

But the difference between me and LeBron haters is that I am rational and susceptible to empircal evidence enough to admit when I'm wrong. As soon as I saw LeBron's first pre-season game against the Pistons (not his first regular season game against the Kings everyone knows about), and when I saw the passes the 18 year-old LeBron threw in that Pistons game, I knew immediately that this dude was a potential GOAT and not just another Jonathan Bender or Darius Miles.

Emoni is going to be good. Don't know about generational as he's similar to Ingram with a little more bounce.

I think what made high school prospects like lebron magic and Lew huge were their games were wise iq wise and they were marketable. Lebron even at 17 was a better interviewer than guys like lamar jackson or trae

Zion Williamson was supposed to be next in that sentence. Oh wait, I meant Andrew Wiggins. Or was it OJ Mayo? Every couple of years somebody coming to the league gets hyped up like crazy. I would love to see someone meet up the expectations for a change.

NBA's gonna need someone to whore as the face of the NBA.... you know, for nothing else other than advertising dollars.

[Johnny32]

i watched some highlights and i'm not seeing lebron type athleticism. highly unlikely he'll have the basketball iq and court vision of lebron. he could be the next kd though.

[Lebron23]

Poor Man's Brandon Ingram. Bronny James is going to have a better career than him.

Bates is now averaging 10.5 ppg on 38.4 FG%. Emoni needs to transfer to another school, or he will enter the NBA draft in his Junior Season

Bates weighed in at 190 pounds, while he measured in at 6-foot-9 in shoes. He recorded a negative wingspan at 6-foot-7.25 inches, a surprisingly short mark considering his height. His vertical jump of 24.5 inches also didn't stand out amongst his peer.

That vertical is worse than Luka :facepalm

[PP34Deuce]

7'2 wingspan isn't poor at all. People get enamored with with 7'6 wingspan and forget that's not super common.

He only got a 6'7".25 wingspan. Jalen Duren is the one who got a 7'2" wingspan.

And people thought he was a better prospect then Chet:roll:

He looks like a Poor Man's version of Brandon Ingram, His team record is 4-17 although his numbers are better because he is playing on a terrible team.

[Lebron23]

Larry Jordan said the Hornets are planning to draft him. Being a poor talent evaluator runs in the Jordan family.

I wouldn't trust anyone with hair like that as a sports baller.
Just buzz it and save time and heat load.
