Will Emoni Bates live up to his GENERATIONAL hype?🏀
no chance
not its past time media set him up for failure comparing him to KD
Yeah 100%
No media always over hype kids and never accomplish it
Generational talents don't get sent to play in G League. So, no.
These bullshit media overhyping a young man is ruining lives smh. I wish this young man the best
Thank you!!!!
He's in the nba
No your wrong obviously the gun charge is what hurt his draft nothing else no one wants to take a risk on someone with trouble
@@henryford5891nah he wasnt ready for the nba but media hyped him up too much that it got to his head and he left college early
So nothing to do with a gun charge 😂 OOOKAY
He made it to the NBA .. he won .
Not nowadays with NIL contracts. He probably made more money in high school than a 2nd round draft pick makes.
Truth being told in my opinion if Bates would’ve stayed committed to Izzo at MSU he would’ve been a 1st rd pick. Coach Izzo would’ve stripped him of that bad shot decisions and he would’ve had to play defense in order to get on the floor at MSU. 1 more thing, Bates grew up as one of those players that was never told NO by a coach that’s why Izzo and MSU would have been perfect for him because Izzo style is team first and he gets on every player no matter status. In my opinion that’s what Bates needed more than anything is to be told NO!!💯💯💯
He would've looked awful under Izzo and would've left after a year...just like at memphis
I agree with you that his over all development would have been much better had he played for Izzo at mich and would have been a the number 1 pick in the NBA draft.
He doesn't have round 1 talent the end
He would have never got in the game and his dad knew that
Once he gets back in the league he’s gonna help a team win..his game is looking a lot more stronger and he’s still getting better
Cavs not letting him go anywhere lol we are finally starting to know how to draft late round picks and undrafted players
@@jayexo2947i feel like they letting him get his reps up
He on the Cavs G-league team. He's been called up for a few games but never got any real time. I think they are really taking their time with him and developing him.
@@jonnygobang87 i seen him play against the Birmingham g league team . I feel like the nba is sending them there to put fans in the new arenas they made for the g league teams
@@dearmas9068he ain’t good
Since when is bro bad?
Right?? 😤🤨🧐🤔 he doesn’t get playing time with the Cavs , but when he does he’s going to develop real fast 💨 once he gets PT. His shot his flawless yes his build is like KDs. They need to have him coming off the bench with the 2nd 🥈 unit while running🏃🏾 the point & the scouts saying this and that about him they said same thing about Jokic and you see how he turned out so all that talk is out the window 🪟
Facts
😢 so far he sucks
@@postal181it just look like that bc the cavs barely give him chances
Dude is still a walking bucket
I don’t know why but I’ve been rooting for him. I hope to see him on the big stage permanently soon.
He’d be so good on the hornets and actually have minutes
If Emoni can keep up the knack for scoring and getting a bit better on defense, he could provide something nice for the Cavs next season, especially with his size. His shooting and height added to the Cavs would be insane given what they’re doing right now
Raptors should pursue Brooks before he plays himself back to a difficult piece to acquire.
He'll be in jail by then
@@Willieb-hi6yt shut up dude. he was 18 years old and borrowed someones car that had a gun in it. which is why the charges were dropped. you probably committed more crimes than he did at 18
@@ISLAMICSTORIES13 Sorry to bash your man crush. He's a POS and you know it
I’m praying for him as a person to be surrounded but great people and real friends. As far as basketball goes I hope he can really gel with the guys in Cleveland! Awesome group and adding his talent to the rotation is a fun thought!
Never
Emoni Bates biggest problem is that as a kid he was never actually coached, and what I mean by that is he was so good that his coaches just let him do whatever he wanted. Same thing that happen at Eastern Michigan. The issue for him when he got to Memphis was that he had to become a "system player" and has never in his life ever been asked to do that because he was always the center of attention his entire school career. Being asked to stand in the corner and wait to shoot 3's was the moon to him. Not to mention he was also pretty bad a defense.
do you know his father trained him from a very young age. His dad played college and pro ball
@@Willieb-hi6yttraining your kid to be technical does not equal to them knowing how to play the game in a system. Having all the talent in the world is useless if you don’t have good IQ in your sport.
There's a generation of talented young basketball players "training" but not learning how to play , not learning winning basketball
Thank you.
Someone that has observed and understands what has transpired.
I have a cousin who played at a very high level, and coached many elite talents in the 11-13 year old range. Had quite a few that “pay for play “ ..
A few others, high school teammates who are HS basketball coaches.
One of the last group of young players my cousin coached was one of his best, he quit! Shortly thereafter, due to players focusing solely on skills and training, and not understanding how to play the game~ how to excel in a role, play a defined role (something that’s also gone away in the NBA~ it’s simply guards, wings, Bigs~ as juxtaposed with defined responsibilities of certain positions) this is also a byproduct of working on offensive skill set only.
My ex teammates who are coaches, tell me HS coaches don’t get the respect and the players are disconnected from learning the game.
The NBA is a huge reason, young boys mimic what they see.
Watching my young son develop as a high school player, I see this constantly.
When many of these young talents get to the pay for play part of their careers , they all have plenty of offensive skill with the ball, but many find it difficult to adjust to excelling in their roles FIRST.
But this is very true, it is also why European players are excelling right now… they understand how to play team basketball, even if they aren’t the best defenders, they compete and play good team defense.
There are some teams who play team ball, the Celtics. They have American players, they are one of the line exceptions… young fans dislike their style of play. Lol. The say it’s boring.
However, that’s how you win.
Which is why they play.
The younger generation plays for stats, money, clout. Not for the love of the game and winning….
Most not all.
@@mobrown1198 great post!!
Good content bro. Only discovered your yt but give me a good content and info. Keep up the good work!
Thanks man! Appreciate your support🏀
Contact info is in the description!
Emoni Bates was supposed to be the #1pick over Victor Wembanyama. Crazy how far he fell so fast.
Definitely rooting for him. He's only 20 and has been through a lot. Everyone's path is different. I hope he has a great career.
I Highly Recommend this CHANNEL !!!!! SUPERBBBB
Great video and looking forward to Emoni playing on the Cavs next season!
Has anyone even been keeping up with Emoni bates bro is a bucket that any team can use . I feel like they just don’t give him a chance on the court cause his actions off the court 💯💯💯
He not a NBA player. Just a over hyped highschool star
and rightfully so.
You can’t be a degenerate and get rewarded millions of dollars just because you can hoop.
You have to fit the mold on AND off the court
@@michaelgoodejr1168 you do know that the G league is part of the NBA right? and hes averaging 25 pts there at 20 years old. also on the cavs roster. so hes by definition an NBA player. also hes the age of a college sophomore. get off his nuts
@@ISLAMICSTORIES13 The pistons should pick him up. He would be a good fit. He sucks and so do the pistons. He would probably start
Cavs want to give him time to develop and not just throw him in the fire on day one. Him being in the G league this year got him way more development than if he was on the Cavs. He’d be a bench player with a lot less minutes
I remember when he played against my high school. The whole gymnasium was packed. No one gave a shit if we won or lost. We just wanted to see emoni play!
this is what makes lebron james so special. Much more hype in the non social media era. Exceeded expectations. Most dudes be like emoni. not hating, just stating.
More hype in the non social media days ur saying ? How?!
His high school games were nationally televised. High School. He was followed by the national medea in high school. @@kyleludlow6121
Simple, Emoni got exposed for his low bball IQ in college and plays next to ZERO defense for a guy with his measurables. He's the classic case of highlight hooper that can't play team basketball.
Bro said y-p-s-i prep🤣🤣
Haha came here to say that
Lmao 😂
Almost at 2k... 10k soon, then 100k subs. I was here pre-400
That’s an OG right there🤝
Someone give this guy a medal!
I was here at 1 sub. I was patient 0. I'm the greatest.
Love your videos
Thank you! Really appreciate your support. Let us know who you'd want to see next!🏀
This why you need a good father and friends to keep you on a straight path
He is so young still and had alot of pressure. He wants it hes got it! Like his game!
its amazing that he played out of position and he averaged 10 ppg as a high schooler in a ncaa power conference team. He started out too great and now everyone isn't patient and waiting on development.
This was a really fair video on the kid. I don't think he'll be a superstar (he' just not athletic enough and is missing a lot of intangibles) but he could be an elite 6th man who could come into a game and just get buckets and help a team win if he can just be a decent defensive player.
I agree! Great insight Chris
Like a taller Bones Hyland
Sounds like Kobe, physically & athletically, he was average. It was his mentality that sets him apart
@@malemanjulpax2155Kobe was a 6’6 guard with a 6’11 wingspan and he was about 215/220. He was a great athlete, just not compared to say Michael Jordan who was one of the most athletic men to ever play sports. Kobe was a similar athlete to say Jalen Williams of the OKC Thunder who is seen as a very good athlete in the NBA today. But yeah of course Kobe’s skill trumped his athleticism because he’s one of the most skilled players ever.
@@SonnyK248good analysis on Kobe
Those some good numbers the boy can play...he's in the nba thts amazing 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾
Might be getting a chance to shine all star weekend
Cool Video🔥🔥🔥
He let the hype go to his head an then couldn't stay away from the streets
When E-Moni gets elevated to the starting lineup of the Cavs (and he will), we will become a perennial finals team once again...
From average G league player to NBA savior 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@michaelgoodejr1168 25 ppg ain't average my boy
@@floydphillipsco It is in the G league
Once the Miami Heat get him. People are going to look back at this comment, and know Im from the future.
The hype and high expectations are crazy the kid is good in my eyes. He needs to build his self confidence and shut down the noise around him.
He's making all the noise
Emoni learns how to facilitate a bit, play a bit of defense and watch who he hangs with he'll be fine. Cavs will bring emoni up next year. He needed to grow and develop in the g league. Still has some work to do but he'll get there.

Really appreciate your support🏀
@@HoopDungeon ofc man thanks for posting those amazing ball contents u earned yourself a new fan keep grinding more subscribers to come
Over emphasis on offense in the media causes these potential stars to ignore the reality that scouts look for all around skills esp defense.
The music edits on here are unmatched 😂
bro this final fantasy music you had going on at the middle made me laugh
I still believe he can become a star scorer!
This kid has crazy game. Probably would work well under pop with Wemby. Whoa!
the slander on individuals we don't know anything about, every player isnt just gonna be superstars when they already HAVE superstars on the team. like this isnt 2k guys
the hype they create for them sets them up for slander.. ig got kids posting as well "im the next KD"... now he not even the next Josh Okogie
@@gfbs7004how is this his fault again?
@@wesleyshum8913 he bought into the hype and never developed his game beyond taking superstar shots. He plays basketball like hes by himself in the gym. He and his dad, I'll say his dad mostly, wasted 2 years of crucial development time by taking him out of school and creating that fake ass prep school. He should've went somewhere to get real strength training and learn to play with others. Imagine if he went to montverde his junior year instead. Strength training down there is better than some colleges, he'd get real coaching and he would've had to learn to play with talent. Now that I think about it in that scenario he probably would've been exposed much earlier.
This kid had and still had an ego. His blackness is what ruined him not the hype
@@hernandez5586 his blackness? are you dumb? MJ Kobe and Lebron have been white this whole time?
He’ll be alright
He is a special player it will show soon
What’s crazy is that the Cavs need a scorer like Emoni at the 3 🫠
I don't know who he is, but hearing so much negativity makes me wish him the best. We gotta let athletes be humans, especially kids.
Had he gone to Michigan State do yo think his future would've been different? What say you??
He’ll be fine keep getting better put on some mass he’ll be in the league by 22
Bro still cold, its merch
After seeing him in 8th & 9th grade, and the Durant comparisons I thought he’d be a for sure future #1 overall pick. I had my concerns, about him shooting those Curry like shots from wayyy deep and his extremely thin frame.
Yes plenty of players mold their body in the NBA, like Giannis & Durant, but in this day and age I’d still like to seem physical development in prospect over 4 years.
I really wanted The Miami Heat to get hold of him. If he had went to the Heat, playing within that system and that team culture. A daily grind with emphasis on playing defense, he already has a nice shot.
If he added some weight, he could quickly see time as a 3&D guy, would probably split minutes Duncan.
I think if he just keeps working hard and keeps his head down, the sky's the limit. I hope he takes this opportunity the cavs gave him and runs with it. Prove all the haters wrong kid.
He’s not bad. His game is a lot closer to Nick Young than say Kevin Durant, but thats still better than 99.9% of humans. His story is a testament to how important development and patience is at lower levels; he wouldve been drafted much higher had he played all four years of high school then played for Tom Izzo as originally planned. Having an entire AAU team built around YOU is also probably an issue, it takes away that hunger and the growth that comes with having to fight to be the top dog on your team. His jumper is pure and he has the size to grow in whichever direction he so chooses (I think he wants to become more of a point forward with the balls in his hands a lot, I think he his best served however playing as an off-ball SG who takes a ton of threes and defends on the other end a la JR Smith, Kyle Korver, and those types).
He’s either going to be the next Nick Young or MPJ. He reminds me of Bol Bol, and why he doesn’t get minutes. Both have skills, but those skills don’t translate into the flow of an offense. In Bol’s case he has above average recovery to make up for defensive mistakes, but he still gets out of position.
His apology f up was top notch
Kid blew his chance. He shouldn’t have taken for granted what he earned in high school.
hes 20 dude and hes in the NBA already. hater
When shit hits the fan is you still a fan
He is a great player he is developing
If there is a team that can offer stability, guidance and a roadmap to development - it’s my Cavs (maybe Spurs or Heat also). The Cavs have developed players at an incredibly level now - easy example is Isaac okoro who went from someone who would brick every three and could barely dribble to three years later is shooting over 40% from three and routinely driving the ball. It’s also a very professional, serious but yet caring environment.
He’s got a true, true second chance with the Cavs. Up to him to develop. It’d be great if in three years he can put in a strong 15 mins a night off the bench and solidify himself as a serious, professional role player
That to say role player is crazy 😂 he could be a star
@@dontehardimon1639 yeah and my grandma could be a bicycle if you put wheels and a horn on her
This is basically the KD show on Apple TV
He'll be fine be patient
You can't place these kinds of expectations on a 14 year old kid. I hipe he can grow into these expectations but doubt it will ever happen for him.
Don’t even trip Cleveland got this man 💯 watch him take over in the next years…
Already won the summer league title…
NBA title for Cleveland coming soon
Dreamland in Cleveland 😂
He'll be trade bait at best
Of course he can, he's just a baby. If I were him I'd start with conditioning by hitting the iron pile, running hills, sprints, core exercises . He's tall but doesn't look strong or athletic. Even though the NBA has changed, you still got to be strong especially at his height
A couple of years getting into shape and staying in shape, watching film to find his shots and learning the team defensive schemes👍
He peaked in HS. It happens. Moving on.
Facts.
No.
He didn't peak in high school. He got in the drugs and that's what drug him down.
He should hire a butler just to hear him say, "Good evening, Master Bates."
Been saying it for a while: a lot of this young generation can flat out SCORE, but can't play pro basketball. They don't know how to move without the ball cuz they never had to do it throughout high school and AAU. They don't know how to read defenses, don't understand pace, spacing, angles, don't know how to pass etc. There's more to basketball than just 1v1 skills.
Who thought he should be the PG, like what was the coach thinking and what was he thinking that was the role for him.
Do one on ish smith
Glory to God in the Highest. Emoni Bates need to be honest with himself in reference to his weaknesses. Do a self examination, practice with professionals who encourage but hold you responsible for on and off court activities. Except honest criticism. Makeup your mind to allow your actions to express, that I want to be the best. Be accountable, surrounding yourself with people that epitomize the charteristics of who you want to be and comit yourself. Don't talk about it, be about it! "I am self disciplined" God Blessings Jesse Hines
Bub i watched him in highlights and though he was the next kd, and then got to watch him in person carry EMU to a dub over Ball state and ik he is the next KD now
I love how highly touted players go to small schools. Why be just another player when you can be the man
No. It's unlikely he'll hit those "generational" heights most thought he would but I believe he could turn into an above average NBA player if he gets better at team aspects of the game and continues to work on his body.
He's a strange anomaly in that he has short arms for his height.
Bingo!!! His length has come into play, terrific height, but the length ain’t there
I feel like some of these players forget this is a job and have to put in the work
He has been the same height since 9th grade
I thought is game against chet exposed his limitations.
His
I said the same thing. Getting beat defensively off the dribble 30 feet from the rim by a 7'1" player and offensively settling for bad shots because he couldn't get to the rim. Bates peaked as a high school sophomore.
Chet is a star level NBA player. pretty sure he exposed the entire NCAA
He’ll be fine.
Dump Garland and give that kid 24/7 development at PG.
I concur
Bradon miller is who we thought bro was gonna be
I mean he is in the NBA ...i did see him with my own 👀's on side line of playoffs 2024
Wemby exceeded the hype by a trillion miles.
Damn rookie ain’t even over yet
I would love to see this kind of video done for Amari Bailey as well. Bates is clearly talented and can have a good NBA career if he keeps improving like he has.
Wasn’t he meant to be the next big thing
Emoni Masterbates
It Is hard for alot of these young guys to find a space in the NBA because of max player contracts and there are alot of guys with the same skill set. Either you have a freak of nature talent or you are just average
Woof. He needed real coaching… was never gonna get that from Dad, Penny or EMU.
It actually makes me mad because people are acting like he was supposed to start right away and the Cavs are so dumb for not playing him😭 we all know his offensive skills but he lacks strength and needs to progress on defense. The Cavs were the only ones willing to take a chance on him, and they are taking the right route by developing him.

Insane upside for a 2nd picks. Has a chance to be deadly bench scorer for the Cavs
He’s got a dead, empty look in his eyes always. He’s gonna do something horrific and get kicked out of the league.
thats ridiculous dude. you are ridiculous.
What kind of dumbass statement is this?
I don’t think it’s fair to say how bad he was when he never was bad
Yall reaching!!! EB will be AN ALL-STAR
