I ain’t gonna lie that fg% threw me off. I expected higher considering Emoni has been best player in his class since 8th grade and “the second coming of Kevin Durant”
FG% is fine. As a hs player who is the best on the team, you fg% often drifts due to teams relying on you to take over. Resulting in more shots and tough shots. He’s young, he won’t need to be taking bad shots as he develops and gets to college. Easy fix.
Honestly at his age carrying that kind of load and keeping it close to 40% is in my opinion more promising than scary. He’s definitely got the tools to shoot close to 50% with smarter shots👌
Wrong.. he playing high school talent.. if his fg%is this low in high school why the hell will it raise when the talent is better and defenses are better.. guy is brandon ingram rookie year at best lol
I definitely still have faith in the kid. Don’t forget he was injured most his season and came off the bench for plenty of his games because of it. He averaged 33 and 11 in his sophomore season. He is more than capable of bouncing back his senior year
that’s what i’m talking about when i say i’m scared of his efficiency only 39 fg% he is a beast tho but being a efficient can impact how impactful you are as a player, esspecially for a score first player like him.
@@bluntsports He was efficent last year and averaged 10 rpg so yea it’s kinda hard to be consistently efficent while taking that type of shots. That’s why i think he’s good asf but not as high on him as everyone else.

With Emoni going to Memphis, I predict he’ll have an excellent career in Memphis, including for many years beyond. As Memphis has signed Emoni, his career there and in the future appears promising for Emoni. As far as I'm concerned, the program will flourish from Derrick Rose's ashes by tapping into Penny Hardaway's basketball vision while playing next to Jalen Duren. Under Jalen Duren and him, the team seems poised to make its first March Madness under Penny's direction as the ninth seed or even a higher finish. In my opinion, the team has made good strides. If I were the general manager in the coming years, I would do my best to pick him among the top five. As things stand, he wouldn't miss out on the spot among the top. My mind goes back to Brandon Ingram's razor-sharp instinct in regards to Emoni’s playing style. After attending an event in my hometown where he appeared in person, I could tell Emoni Bates possessed the real deal factor. My experience at the event can attest to that. The player has the talent to make it big, regardless of when he enters the league.
Is it just me or does Emoni look stranger than he was playing basketball? I remember watching him in 9th and 10th grade and now all of a sudden his back is much more bent then before as well as NBA players of his size like kd or giannis, and his shooting stroke looks visibly more rushed without follow through as compared to a year or two ago
He has incredible height and arm length but it looks like he lacks athleticism. On his dunks he's not getting that high off the ground. His profile reminds me a lot of Kevin Durant. Very tall, lanky, can create separation on his jump shot. It's tough to say how he would play against bigger/stronger guys.
I doubt he would care since the second best player in his class is LOVING playing with him, while emoni fg is way better snd he passed more cuz he has help
@@juju3x175 still a inefficient shot creator.The stats don’t lie and if you watch the games he is just a iso scorer who is a medicocre playmaker considering his skillset and a horrible defender who doesn’t follow plays and lets guys go past him.He still easily a lock top 5 recruit in high school but not the next generational talent everyone thinks he’ll be he hasn’t even grown in height since his freshman year and he is stilly relatively skinny.Emoni may be one of those players who peaked in his Freshmen/sophomore year.Could be another Kyree Walker
Efficiency will get better with age and better teammates. Nice shooting motion though and great handle. Doesn't seem to have a lot of hops or quick first step though but that can improve as well.
people in this thread are imagining he won’t improve IN TWO MORE YEARS. if his fg% isn’t up to 45% by the time he graduates, then the trash talk might be legit. he will work on all aspects of his game, grow an inch or two, and add 10 lbs of muscle by the time he graduates.
I dunno guys, 38% from the field obviously is concerning. But a big part is shot selection. Lamelo had horrible FG% (like 25% or something like that) heading into the league and now he’s shooting like 44%. I hope Emoni doesn’t settle on his ranking to get him places
KD-esque but not KD. KD is much lighter on his feet. Emoni Bates’ feet look slightly too heavy for him if that makes sense. He also doesn’t jump as high as KD. He’s more of a poor mans KD which is still an NBA all star caliber player. Very quick release. Looks like he can score at all 3 levels. He’ll be good but I wouldn’t call him a lock for the #1 pick just yet.
I don’t see the unselfishness of KD in him. He seems more like a ball hog. KD might not average the most assists but he’s very unselfish and to much sometimes.
I don't understand how they didn't know the kid couldn't jump by watching his highlights. The first thing I said is to to be 6'6"+ he really doesn't get up that high.
