He's so young, at the rate he's going he's got the size and because he hasn't gotten his weight together yet he may just be able implement a lil Antetekumpo into his game....if he's able to be Durant + Antetekumpo that'll be 🤮
@@akanusii Firstly when people say “the next”, it’s a statement of players potential comparing them to the best player that fits their style. Bates isn’t just skinny and tall, he’s pure scorer who favours the iso, strong for his weight, has a nice hesi, a hesi pull up, shifty af, strong midrange and can shoot the three ball, That’s the part that makes him the next KD. This level of versatility within a tall player is not prevalent to any tall player aside KD. Otherwise we’d have been calling Bol Bol KD.
Anyone who knows basketball agrees with you. As a freshman this past year at 14 yrs old he led his Ypsilanti High School Team Lincoln to the Michigan Class A Championship. He is unbelievable
normally you see the KD comp thrown on tall and lean dudes like Kevin Knox and Jonathan Isaac had, but this kid is insane. his shot creation and ability to make shots takes so much skill and he’s so young. definitely KD 2.0
Honestly if this kid keeps a jordan or kobe hunger for the Game then.... the sky is the limit cause right now hes unguardable with that height that age and that skill set but kids around him are going to grow and be hungry great talent.
hol up hol up got damn it HOLD THEE FUC UP! you mean to tell me he missed the free throw, got the board the went off to the right, and PUNCHED on the defender?!?!?!?! And he is a legit freshman smgdh! Stop it! hahahahahahahahahaha
So this kid Emoni is fresh off of leading his team to the Michigan High School Class A Title as a freshman, killing the AAU circuit, and a few are saying they're still not convinced he's deserving of the props he's been getting because they gotta see him against other teams out here, while their favorite players probably haven't done what Emoni's done as early as he has. (Keep in mind Emoni led Ypsilanti Lincoln High School in Michigan to the title as a freshman and the school isn't a prep school or basketball powerhouse) I swear these cats don't realize how similar they are to Skip Bayless.
Freshman year he leads his non-powerhouse high school team to a State Championship. The following year covid19 ended all sports but he was still named the Gatorade High School Player of the Year....as a damn sophomore.
He’s better then LeBron was at this age.For him to be only 14 is unbelievable,he’s still just scratching the surface of what he’s gonna be in another 10 years.Scary potential.
Raymond Thomas No doubt.I don’t see him having LeBron’s all around game but i can see him being an elite scorer rather quickly,his scoring package is extremely advanced for his age.
@@ybpmma his said next few YEARS, Emoni skipped his senior year of high school and still really has 3 more years of college ball left. He would have just been gearing up for his freshman year at Memphis rn
@@ZWayTooSway Well you must be behind the times then, because my daughter and all her friends who are seniors at your school have been calling him that since last year. Get with the times youngblood.
@@kadrianjackson445 Wen the new CBA agreement comes to turn in 2022, they will allow kids to go from high school to the pros.. It's already a done deal.. So therefore he will be the number1 pick that yr
Its the KG/kobe mentality. And pretty good? This man is phenomenal; the most skilled 15 years of age kid ive ever seen. He can drain threes like a pro, he can score at all three levels, he can post up, play above the rim, his handles are next level, he has vision (but i want to see more facilitating), he has speed, athlieticsm, elite footwork not just for 15 yo, but for professional level players. If this kid becomes an elite defender, he will be the GOAT imo. This kid is phenomenal. At 15 he is rated no.1 regardless of class, and he will only get better!
Everybody gangsta until this dude gets put in 2k
Reading the comments I think we’re all in consensus... this is the next KD.
Prolly, he destroyed my school LMAO🤣

He 15
Still waaaaay better than everyone in his class
BlackachuGod 999 When I first saw him he was 14,didn’t know his birthday so i just assumed he was still 14
future 🐐
He would average 130pts in the WNBA 😭😭😭
Just needs to build some muscle and he will absolutely unstoppable 😳
The next KD comments never age well
If he picks up a little more weight, he gone be tuff
James G definitely has time he’s like 15-16 years old lol. Crazy what this kids potential could be
Damn he good af

Use that left hand sometimes Young blood otherwise good luck to you
TREX KD
We need to stop calling people the goat early put in some fucking work build your resume up before you get that status
He would've been top 5 in this year's draft right now.

You can’t go straight from high school anymore

Ingram will be better than KD this guy is a legend for sure though
