- If Emoni Bates was a prospect in the 2024 NBA Draft and not the 2023 NBA draft, would the Cleveland Cavaliers 6'8" wing prospect have been a first round pick?
In this years draft class would Emoni Bates have been a first round pick?
Emoni Bates’s shot translates to the professional game. That appeared like it was going to be the case as early as the 2023 Las Vegas Summer League. The ensuing season that Bates spent mostly in the G League with the Cleveland Charge only confirmed it.
Bates shot 37.1% from distance on 10.5 attempts in 27 games with the Charge. His ability to get up a high volume of attempts is what was most impressive. Teams knew that he wanted to shoot threes, but that didn’t stop him from doing so. His quick release, limitless range, and ability to confidentially take contested jumpers allowed him to do so.
There were few things more impressive than when he got hot and all of those things were working in concert. This included a 38-point performance for the Charge in the beginning of January where he went 8-15 shooting from three.

Jay must been watching 2K when he thinks he saw Bates getting significant minutes 🤦🏾♂️
Fool...u underestimate the firing of JB BICKERSTAFF😅😅😅
So frustrating sometimes listening to Jay 🤦🏽♂️
Jay: Seems like everybody who goes to Memphis to play sports needs a gun. took me out 😂😂😂😂
I just don’t get it honestly. You have a guy who has tremendous upside and a skill that all NBA teams need which is shooting yet we break our necks to find any reason NOT to play him for a roster that needs exactly what he provides. We make these assumptions about players without ever watching these guys in any meaningful way. We just repeat what some national guy says sitting in front of a computer screen. I’ve watched every single game this kid has played in collegiately. I’ve watched all his G-League games. So I coming from a place of really trying to find diamonds in the rough that can turn this team in a Denver Nuggets type of team that scouts, develops, & identifies young talent that fit the scheme in Cleveland
Kenny Atkinson is a great player development coach, he showed this in Brooklyn a few years back. He helped unlock Allen's potential back then as well, he should be able to unlock Emoni's potential.
Emoni: "I know I can be a star"
Jay: " Are you sure about that?"
Way to support ya team
Emoni is a lot like the guy who got picked first. it is all about opportunity and confidence from the coaching staff
Emoni Bates is a beast watch this year
Hopefully Kenny Atkinson will understand the potential and unlock it
Big GBush knows his Emoni Bates! EMU represent
Do hope tha Cavs bring back Marcus Morris Sr. tht kat balled his a** off in game 5 fa tha Cavs - fact no cap ✌🏾
Bates is my new favorite player after the way Jay hates
Two players Bates and Isaiah Mobley have the size and length the Cavs are looking for and yet they don’t seem to want to play them at all!!!
30 appearances for a pitcher would be like playing 40 games for 15-20 minutes a night in the NBA
how many heights does one man have. First he was a legiit 6'10 then 6'9 now iits 6'8. Is he agiing backwards or has he shrinkiing. strange world
38% and 34% just ain’t gonna cut it and I love emoni. I have really high hopes for Jaylon Tyson tho
Give Emoni some more playing time. They don't have anymore draft picks until 2030 and they're a small market team so finding talent is going to be hard. They need to look into developing what they already have.
I'm a Bates fan, def a 1st Rd pick this yr but his efficiency was not good in g League and he really don't do anything else but shoot. He needs to add a lil weight, rebound and work on attacking the rim...
Jay saying that Emoni can't become a star because he currently has holes in his game, while having an element of truth to it, seems shortsighted and naive to me. EVERY PLAYER coming out of college has some holes in their game somewhere. Even LeBron James had holes in his game coming into the league, he didn't shoot jump shots well. Just because a guy has issues in his game doesn't mean he can't become good.
Jay only like to move goal post so he can be right and never actually understands the talking points his panel members speak about it exhausting to listen to.
so....when do we get a chance to see Emoni?? what's your guess?
Summer League, pre-season then go from there
When bates is ready, he should play the two position. With such a slim frame at 6 Foot 9 he can put pressure on the opposition's two position trying to shoot 3'sand follow him into allen mobley and wade on a drive. Also, when the opposition does a pick and roll on Bates with their center, Bates can beter cover the big man on a switch.
why wouldn’t the defense jus switch but i you got a point
I'm putting Enoni at the 2
JB sucked horribly at playing his full roster. Altman came and yelled at JB for over playing the core 4. He had Spida playing close to 40 minutes with an OT included one game... Meanwhile while they were injured Bates STILL didn't even get a shot.. and we had like 10 people to work with at one point. Still never touched the floor. Glad JB is gone now. He barely drew up plays too their first year with Spida. Thankfully now this team is more well rounded and have chemistry together. Kenny is gonna give the young guys early looks and work them in with the roster, it's only more up from here. Especially since we got Burns now too.
These guys are gonna be so salty when Tyson is getting NBA minutes and Emoni is still mostly in the g league next year. Emoni is just a shot chucker right now. Atkinson wants ball movement and Emoni hasnt shown he can play within an offense yet. Even Travers seems more nba ready right now.
Earl looks like Manny Ramirez.
Jay I don’t wanna hear bron at all he pissed me off I thought he was coming back like come on man don’t talk about that
Emoni has to get better,shooting 38% and 34% 3PT is not that great and being top 30 in the G league does not make you a starter in the NBA. I really hope he develops and becomes the player everyone hoped he be while he was in HS.
Jay is a hater.
Jay has no idea above RYTHYM.🤦♂️
End of the first round
Jay u hating to hard on Bates u sounding like chicken mc nuggets now smdh😂
Definitely
Bra. A hater
Jay Haten he should not talk basketball
This is the stupidest take... he's trying to look at stats from garbage time
Jay relax! Judging too harsh on 3.3min a game
Jay talks cuz he likes to hear himself talk - he doesn't know what he's saying most times. (I'm learning to block him out - he's getting harder to watch.........)
@@christinekranz4844 i totally agree with you I use to get triggered at bull and sometimes earl, but they both grew on me with there different opinions. I love to hear them but Jay is just awful makes me turn off the show every time he over speaks everyone else’s opinions, when all Jay does make baseless opinions off of his fear and negativity .
@@palacelifekid9281 YES!!!! Perfectly spoken!
Jay hates a lot
I know this is a joke of a segment but this is the worst group to have talking basketball
Jason would have lost his mind. McNuggets knows Emoni isn't ready yet too but it's for the content.
5 or 6 pounds
Take a second look at K.P.J if his legal troubles are cleared up
......i know he's a hot mess and my friends' get piss*d when i say that I'd take him back..........😒🤷♀️
