I'm not a Cavs fan, but I hope he can be a great 6th man for the franchise in the future. He had a solid outing in the 2023 Summer League. Can't wait to see him and Sam Merrill be included on the team's rotation next season.
@@stanclickini don’t. i still believe in Okoros ability to be a Starting elite 3 & D wing. Bates would thrive in a jamal crawford/lou williams role where his ONLY concern is putting the ball in the basket lol
If Emoni truly wants to be the player he has the ability to be - you MUST... MUST do this one thing..... And all the greats did this - forget about everything but improving your game by : LIVING IN THE GYM..... put all the b.s. and temptations that come with being in the spotlight - out of your existence at the moment. Then transfer all that energy into working hard in the gym.....
The gun incident was what ruined him but at the end of the day he’s in the cavs now they should have looked passed that and understood what type of talent your about to receive the cavs knew that’s why they picked him up
You can't have a rise and fall before the age of 19 😂😂😂😂😂😂 He will be an exciting kid to watch develop in the next couple years. He will be a solid player. Good video.
He'll be a solid role player in the league; sometimes, these teenagers have so much hype that it doesn't always materialize. Nevertheless, he has the athleticism and the skillset to stay in the league for a few years if given the opportunity.
@@dearmas9068i think it is you can have your opinion we can have ours the chances of these kids becoming what they're projected is slimmer than none it's rare as fuck
If he puts some weight on and gains some agility, it'll help him off the ball on offence and on defense. It think with the cavs being a young team he'll pull through to have a long career. Only worry is injuries...
A kid sitting out 8th grade ball because "its not worth it" is a giant red flag. An 8th grader should want to play because he loves the game, not sit out because you think playing wont help your recruiting/draft stock in 3-5 years. Reclassifying a year early was also a mistake. As someone who watched him a lot at Memphis, he just couldn't adjust to the physicality and was getting beat up trying to drive to the rim, and eventually he gave up on it and just became an inefficient mid range chucker. He also didn't mesh on a team of vets who were pushing for a Conference Championship and NCAA run and they hated watching him shoot bad shots and not pass to anyone. He injured his back with the team 11-8 and they immediately go on a 10-2 run to make the tournament and almost upset Gonzaga in 2nd rd. Hopefully he bulks up and can be an off the bench scorer in the NBA, but I have a feeling that he will just be yet another player who popped off in Summer League against bad defenses. He was a 33% college 3pt shooter for 2 years but shot 40% from NBA 3 during Summer League. If that can sustain itself then maybe he has a chance.
Los cav no tie un buen alero el encaja a la perfección con Mitchell, Garland,emony , Moble y Jared Allen diablillo ese equipo va a estar bueno este año
God bless Jesus loves u and he died for u so u can have a chance to get into heaven amen praise most high love u lord amen end times is soon give your life to him Amen love u lord amen

I hope he can be our starting wing in 2-3 years

If Emoni Bates get efficient & consistent he deserves 10-15 minutes 2023-24 NBA season
I swear I’ve seen this but I’ll gladly rewatch this jimmers content has been fire lately
wow I'm shocked malika broke the news about the gun stuff 😂
Only real ones kno this a re upload
Only real ones know this is deez nutz
Bro the video wasn’t up for that long relax 😂
@@deshaunpowell858 u ain't gonna get far standing up for the fakes ✋ lmao jkjk I relax now

Really good video. Thanks.
If there is negative news about a black man, Malika Andrews is always excited to announce it
The gun incident was what ruined him but at the end of the day he’s in the cavs now they should have looked passed that and understood what type of talent your about to receive the cavs knew that’s why they picked him up
So much pressure for teenagers man im telling you Lebron was already a man at 16 😅
He has the Skillset to be a Joe Johnson or Danny Granger type player if he can put it all together
I think he works best in a Jamal Crawford role
Something similar a spark off the bench, I think Jamal playmaking was slept on
I don't think he will ever reach close to Jamal's shot creation ability
When malika seen the arrest news 😈
You can't have a rise and fall before the age of 19 😂😂😂😂😂😂
He will be an exciting kid to watch develop in the next couple years. He will be a solid player. Good video.
Freddy Adu has left the chat.
@@josephnewman713 he won't be that bad, I hope
elite content my boy 🔥
En la summer league yo lo ví y la rompió bien duro es un killer
this guy is a future legend
😂😂😂😂
He’s going to be solid for Cleveland

@@dearmas9068 there’s too much talent in the NBA, he”ll be like like a better version of Brandon Boston

GG. Vid 👍
I think they should strart him at the three.!
First sub unless hot. 👍
Guy got potential 💯 imo 🙏✌️
Cavs stacked SF.. mybd.!
Hope he makes the roster.
Learns from those vets..
GG 🤞✌️
My brother on this green earth he didn’t even have a real start yet
Of course Malika hating ass covered it

6’6 at 7th. I was like 4ft tall 😢
He looks like the Bel Air main character
It’s really just the rise and fall and a couple decent summer league games of Emoni Bates tbh
It’s apart of the rise again which is the point😂
He hasn't proven a damn thing.
@@glehran5586you can say the same for the rest of these rookies, keep the same energy for everyone
@@glehran5586he really has if you watch the video..
Rooting for this kid. I'td be a dope story and F**k you to the NBA.
Jaylen Brown your next video JimmerRange 🙏🙏🙏
Dean wade can sit…
I bet Malika Andrews couldn't wait to report those charges against Bates!!! Can't stand that woman.

Still won the cavs combine championship he win the draft we won the draft go Cavs
yooooooooooooooo
Boy don't play no defense and doesn't box out well at either end of the court. Your wingspan isn't nearly as big a deal as that problem.
real ones know he uploaded this hours ago
Real ones couldn't care less.
@@meh7348 real ones dont care for opinions
first and last time i heard about the kid was when drake started hitting his mom
That’s Amari Bailey not Emoni bro 😂
How does this video only have 2 comments
At the time he just uploaded the video....relax lol
espn need fire malika
The Ja Morant influence is crazy 😂
bro im 15 and im only 5'8. I'm struggling to score more than 15ppg
we ain't all built to be professional athletes lil bro, keep your study grind up
I find it weird that his vert is so bad he can eastbay dunk and has a pretty decent layup package off lift I’ve seen clips of him doin 360s too
God bless Jesus loves u and he died for u so u can have a chance to get into heaven amen praise most high love u lord amen end times is soon give your life to him Amen love u lord amen
Utah jazz da best
Pretty sure he'll have an average career. Not an all-star but solid.
