I hope he avgs 25 or more and leads them to a Ncaa tournament appearance, it would easily bring him back to being a top 7 pick
His father almost ruined him
Why would you care about his draft position? Lol..
@@SadDad01 I mean it’s nun of our business but the higher he gets picked means more money
@@jaron312 how? His father made him transfer to Eastern Michigan
Top 7 would be perfect for us Pistons fans. We seemed to be headed that way and need a FW/PG/SG but mainly FW
The culture is really rooting for this kid...we are behind him....All he has to do is stay on the grind and keep his hand to the plow....we all see it
Long as he stay out of trouble ain’t no way they can deny him
Nah nega this ain't not slavery farmer nega no more
"the culture"...cringe my man.
Bros name is Ramone talking about the “Culture” it doesn’t get any funnier then that
@@a2g793 yeah and whatever yo mother named you funnier than that🤣😂
Dudes potential is crazy. He has tremendous confidence and he’s skilled.
Yeah. So good, even tho he lost
@@santaclause3487 as long he balling out that’s all that matters because bro’s career looked over after getting arrested
Man ain’t no bust!!! Just hit a bump in the road 💥💥
Bro reclassified and played at memphis as a high school senior. Hes literally a freshman now.
Have any of yall been to Memphis?! Hard to get adjusted to that life if you lived anywhere else. I couldn't believe he chose Memphis and only because of Penny did I think it might work.
@@awwwsy Just curious...what type of lifestyle is in Memphis?
He was 17 those people that were saying that clearly don’t kno basketball
Facts he still a kid living and learning I see the potential now
No exaggeration, he’s one of the most fluid and coordinated 6’9+ players I’ve ever seen.
@Mk he is just doesn’t look big because he’s 190 pounds😂
Someone’s riding the bandwagon.
@@dontmindme4197 he’s 6’10
@@dontmindme4197 He's literally listed at 6'10 bruh
Did you ever see Tracy McGrady ?
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.
This man WILL still be a lottery pick. Book it right now
Time will tell.
Didn't see much defensive effort from Michigan.
@@davidmilton5887 HE WAS BUSSIN THEY AZZ THATS Y 😂😂😂😂
I hope I remember this comment when he's not a lottery pick.
@@fluidsoffornication4636 you can’t name me 14 players better then Emoni that’s gonna be draft eligible. He’s a top 3 talent! It’s the outside stuff that’s making people question him straight up….
He won’t be a lottery pick for “character” reasons. They are going to Kevin porter jr him. But someone will be happy who takes him.
This is why you never give up on someone. People were ready to write him off. He’s only 18
Ya give up on people in the youtube comment section every day tho lol. Make it make sense
@@FloydWhoElseTV what
I think people keep forget that he’s still that young. He struggled in Memphis and that was concerning, but nothing too alarming for someone so young. I mean, in this era of social media and hella one-and-done’s we’re ready for the next thing the next day. Even with Chet Holmgren being injured, we still would’ve been talking about Wembanyama if he wasn’t and playing well.
People have to remember that he enter college a year earlier than he was suppose too. This year was really supposed to be his freshman year.
He will end up in prison.
2023 draft is gonna be crazy. The Top 5 picks have some of the most potential we’ve ever seen from any draft classes. It’s gonna go down along with 2003 and 1983 as one of the best classes ever!
Edit: my bad I meant 1984 with Hakeem and MJ
How you gone say those 2 n not the greatest draft ever 96 😂
The 84 draft u mean*
All y’all need to slow down
@@dttb864 96 draft will never be matched
@@dttb864 yeah my bad I meant 84. I forgot Hakeem and MJ were drafted that year my bad
His release is so quick...more athletic than I thought and a handle. His upside is crazy, Penny fumbled the bag
Nothing to do with penny Emoni Bates is a diva and caused alot of problems Memphis played better without him best of luck to him but we good in Memphis
Penny's fault was playing him out of position...the problem was in order to make Memphis a bit more attractive,he had to promise Bates a chance at PG, which Bates is clearly not...He's more of a natural 3,some2,and occasional PG...
He wasn't ready to lead a team from the PG position.
It was just a case of immaturity and not ready at the time he came to Memphis.
Not Penny's fault at all...If he were ready metally,who better to learn the PG position than Penny?
It's all good though....hope he continues to improve and not let the good game go to his head....he has a chance to be special if he puts in the work....especially the weight room.
@@Teagod77 he had him playing point 🤡🤡😂
Emoni Bates didn’t want to play team basketball and was all about him in Memphis.
@@Teagod77 you just being bias penny can’t coach
This was very very impressive. He definitely going to creep into the lotto BARRING ANY BS!!!
2nd round
Man I’m so glad to see he got his swagger back. I’m watching that man at Memphis like where is Emoni and what have you done with him? This more like those HS highlights!
That’s because he was still supposed to be in the 12th grade at the time… he moved up early so yes it literally was his high school highlights
I’m happy for this kid…been through lots of up’s and down
I'M ROOTING FOR THIS KID
Why he is a pos personally
I'm rooting for him as well. If he stays focused, continue to play well and stays out of trouble I don't see why he couldn't redeem his NBA status.
He gotta put the weed down . Boi look like he smoke a qp a week (lips)
@@leonardford3464 🛑 The 🧢
Hopefully bro can use this szn to get back on track, he’s so talented
Cleveland got such a steal with Emoni Bates in the second round. So ready to see what he can do in the NBA
If we all really being honest he played his senior year in highschool as a freshman instead college, all the talk about him struggles, but alot of highschoolers would, he looks great these 2 games, it’s not about Eastern winning but him showing that he was coached uncomfortably and if a team want an all star scoring talent draft him a system player no
Makes difficult shots, knows how to get to his spot, quick trigger on the perimeter shooting. This type of play is what translates at the next level. If he gains some muscle he will be better when it comes to dunking/layups and it will be hard to stop
his confidence is back....the quick release...he looks like the emoni i saw summer of 2019 on EYBL ...giving me reggie miller vibes ....he think hes going to be in the top 8 in draft convo by the end of the yr
A lot of folks counted him out, I hope he shines this year
The dude definitely passes the eye test. He has a smooth and effortless shot. He does remind me of how Durant plays. It looks so effortless.
Only thing i can say is hes going to lead the ncaa in techs because he plays with so much passion and refs are weird about how they want robots
I see more Tatum than Durant.
@@FloydWhoElseTV on the money with this one
He’s the most like KD.
Facts. Boi def out there shining like a young KD
Statement game in the sense of his relevancy...as to say "Don't count me out just yet". Stay focused young man 👏!!
Wish ya wouldnt count people out like ya do in the youtube comment section
i was at this game on friday, let me tell y’all emoni nate’s had EMU’s student section ROCKING. he’s no joke.
His attitude is insane. He seems like he likes to jaw may more than keeping his head in the game. His attitude reminds me of when randy moss was at the end of his tenure as a viking
Seeing this man Hooping at a high level makes me joyful. Let’s hope he’ll still got in the draft with a lottery pick 🤞🏻
This is what we thought we’d see at Memphis, def has potential but we gotta see more
Oh stfu he’s 18
Bro he was 17 at memphis lol
I mean this mf was hitting shots from 40 feet 🤣🤣
@@FloydWhoElseTV thank you lol💀
@@CCL0286 heat checks are for real 😂
if we bein honest this is supposed to be his freshman year. he reclassified last szn. interested to see how he grows
So happy to see him thriving
Emoni. People in these comments wanna see u win. Got a few things to tell u. Listen to your coach. Don’t try to show him up. Continue to work extremely hard and get better every single day. Finally don’t get into no BS off the court fam. Just u there for a year look at it like that. Then it’s off to your dream of the NBA. 💯
Just happy for him!
He's a superstar period. Made everyone else look like they were freshman in highschool. Prepare a top ten in college today, who's on the list with him?
Well I don’t got 10 for u. But the freshman miller from bama had 20 first game. So I’ll throw him in there and also hunter dickenson. Won’t get drafted or anything. He a nba summer league guy. But he will be on one of those all American teams at the end of the year. So he is top 10. I agree though Emani is a top 10 talent this year in the college game.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Sarcasm?
@TN gamer I like that comparison bro. That’s actually spot on.
He really nice nice. He could play in the league right now and be an all star
Why does it look like he can barely dunk? His vertical is not impressive for his height.
He just needs to on some muscle especially to his legs
It’s the arm length 😂😂😂
Smh. Ya respect flight more than skills. Im glad ya will never be a GM
From Mugshot to BALLING OUT💪🏿💯
This his real freshman year he just wasn’t ready last year to play college ball
Exactly
He was 17 & that was the point of going early
@@user-eu3uy9pt8p yeah that still doesn’t change my point
My favorite thing was only the last two baskets were iso. He was moving without the ball for every other basket. Scoring like that without needing the ball wins games
would not say he really has an NBA body type, however dude is definitely rocking an NBA skillset already
Fr tho he look skinnier and shorter than BI but he has NBA level scoring ability
When he adds a lil muscle and get some more bounce he definitely going be a solid nba player
Wouldn't mind seeing him play 41 games a season on that very court for years to come
This man is crazy 💯since high school
There’s the Emoni Bates we know 🔥
Looks like the perfect place for him to develop it was tough for him to get in the rhythm in Memphis
To develop???? 😂😂😂😂 Buddy is developed and is ready!
@@monstersavage5245 he's not physically developed when he gets stronger it'll be a lot better
@@cbsaucypa8294 bro is literally a freshman lol. And do you know about body types? You dont know if hes strong or not. He has a KD frame
Emoni Bates came back with a vengeance. I'm proud of how he dealt with adversity.
You are -- a Sacramento King!
He gonna be a role player in the nba. He can’t jump for nothing
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.
Dickinson had 31 with 7 boards! Go Blue!
Who cares
LOL. He had 31 points because he was 5 inches or more taller than everyone on the other team.
@@ronaldmanning6752 eastern should recruit taller players then, lol.
@@DeathNote_96 Maybe so but I don't see Dickinson being much of a threat in NBA. He's too slow. I was looking at the mock NBA draft for 23 and 24 and Dickinson didn't make either one of them. Hope he's ready for overseas.
@@ronaldmanning6752 as a Michigan fan, I'm just happy to see him play so well in college 👍
I’m happy he played well hopefully he keeps up all year prove doubters wrong
Leaving Memphis was a good move after all 🏀💯👏🏾
Yea he’s gonna be in the league next year
Its crwzy how Him & Chet will play their first NBA game together since Chet is out the whole season.
He shot release is while he is still going up. He's not a shooter like Steph of course but Steph is one of the only other guys i know that releases while still going up and not the highest point of the jump.
Really want this kid to win. Hope he rises above all negativity
Amazing work 😮🎉❤ that young man balling in this fashion. the team look defiant and raw strength I like it instantly became a fan favorite.😮
Floor: Middleton/Ingram
Ceiling: Durant
I expect him to end up somewhere in between the floor-ceiling. That is legitimately good.
Floor: Kelly ouber, derrick jones jr
Emoni Bates is pretty amazing. Idk why he doesn't let his game talk for itself though. He looks real stupid trash talking after every single bucket before losing.
i'm glad he's playing well feeling good and having fun. hopefully he got everything right now and has a lot of success.
So lucky he didn’t get kicked off the team. What a hooper
Dayuuum! He Ready! 🏀🏀👀👀🔥🔥💰💰
Mans said what’s a follow through
He was Gunning for that basket!
Needs to work on Playmaking, because his foot speed and lack of burst isn’t going to cut it to be a primary shot creator. Still heaps of potential, but he’s just so slow.
Mistakes happen but talent shows
He’s a bucket!!! League him
He’s back 😈!!!!!!
Keep shining 🎉
Dude had all the stuff to fail but still came thru. He passed this test. Many more to come. He’s from the 734. It’s time we got one
Stop.
I need to see more........
📈 going up! I wanted him to make those 3s so bad at the end … but him and Farrakhan went off regardless 🔥
Ya wrote Emoni off...Thank god he Anit Signed it.
I hope this is his WAKE UP Call!! Just hoop kid surround yourself with Just hoopers!! Best of Luck 💯
Yeah this kid is the next best thing besides victor I would take emoni over scoot Henderson right now
Sometimes all you need is a second chance and a change of scenery to get your life back on the right track!
My dawg was on 1 last night! I appreciated the effort!!! 🔥🔥💪🏾💯💪🏾🔥🔥🔥
Emoni with rhythm is a sure-fire lottery pick.
He seems like he lost some athleticism. He's barely above the at 6'9. Something seem off .
I love it! Turn up Emoni! They counted you out. Keep proving them wrong.
Miami Heat 18th Pick. 🔥💪
Anyone who can rise up and create his own shot like that is a safe pick for any top draft pick. Only question is his defense and his health
Oooooo he look nice wit it 👀👀💯
No way he’s just chucking shots up looks lucky 🍀
Very impressive
Next game he will have about 7 point and 4 rebounds. It’s just what he is …
Richard Hamilton part 2
Why is there so much talent in this draft 😂
Im happy for him and he overcame the obstacles in his way. Keep going bro and stay out of trouble you'll be just fine in the NBA. Take care of your body and stay healthy!
Looks way more comfortable playing back at home ! I would say stay another year-get your weight up,stay in that lab working on that handle and offense package ! Come out as a top 5 next year 💯
Wow!! I hope his teammates can catch up they looked surprised and unsure .... S/O to E.Bates 💯
His pace looks so much better
Experience matters. While players were playing high school kids there senior year. He was playing ncaaa kids his senior year
Penny simply mishandled Bates and Josh Minott last season. Not sure if this says more about Pennys coaching or more about how toxic the chemistry was at Memphis
He's back!!!!!
Wow ! I’m rooting for Emoni Bates, nice to see him back like his old self
Is it just me or he struggles to dunk for a 6’9” guy
If your ever in Ypsilanti, stop by the French quarters Resturant, his grandma owns the place and the food is fire.
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
Can’t find none of those trolls who were saying he was a bust last year.
*Big Penny: 😰*
*Little Penny: First Wiseman, now Bates - Ls. 🤦*
He looks good
Oh this is tooooo satisfying to watch knowing how allllll of y’all tried to downplay this man for the past 2 years
Just a gunner
