Emoni Bates & EMU Go At Hunter Dickinson & No. 22 Michigan | Full Game Highlights
Спорт
Emoni Bates showed flashes of his promise, scoring 17 of his career-high 30 points to help Eastern Michigan lead No. 22 Michigan at halftime.
The former basketball prodigy and his new teammates came up just short in the end.
Hunter Dickinson had 31 points, Terrance Williams scored 18 and Jaelin Llewellyn added 12 points to lift the Wolverines to an 88-83 win over the Eagles on Friday night.
The Wolverines (2-0) went ahead on Llewellyn's layup with 2:49 left in a game with 17 lead changes and 11 ties.
The Eagles (1-1) were up 45-40 at halftime and had an eight-point lead early in the second half, but ended up losing a 22nd straight game against a ranked opponent.
Bates, though, was the story of the night.
Eastern Michigan coach Stan Heath did not play Bates in the team's season-opening game on Monday and the former Michigan State assistant would not say why he sat the sophomore, who transferred last summer from Memphis.
Bates was reinstated to the team last month after prosecutors agreed to drop felony charges against him after police say they found a gun that had altered ID marks in a car he was driving. Defense attorney Steve Haney said the vehicle and the gun didn't belong to Bates.
"It was a struggle for him when he was not with the team," Heath said. "When he came back and talked to the team, the coaches left. I can just tell you that he appreciates his opportunity to be back home, playing with a lot of teammates he has known for years.
"What people see is all the hype, but he's an 18-year-old kid who works really hard to be an elite basketball player."
Two years ago, the 6-foot-10 guard became the first high school sophomore to win the Gatorade national player of the year award in 2020. He beat out future NBA standouts Cade Cunningham and Evan Mobley for the award.
"He started getting compared to Kevin Durant, and that's hard for any young person," Michigan coach Juwan Howard recalled.
Howard said Bates' skills reminded him of what he sees in the NBA.
"There's a chance for this young man to do some special things in the game of basketball," Howard said.
Bates was not made available to the media before or after the game, and Heath said it might be a few weeks before he is interviewed by reporters.
His 17 first half points matched his season high from a year ago with Memphis. Bates finished 12 of 19, including 3 of 6 from beyond the arc, entertaining fans, including a famous Wolverine, at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit.
"Wow," former NBA and Michigan star Glen Rice said. "I'm rooting for him."
Clearly, the NBA is also watching.
"Half of the league has had someone at one of our practices to see him," Heath said.
BIG PICTURE
Eastern Michigan: Bates makes the Mid-American Conference team intriguing to watch. He is one of six players, including four transfers, Heath did not have on the court last season in his coaching debut at his alma mater.
"Eastern Michigan basketball is going to be very good this year," Heath said.
Michigan: Outside shooting was a weakness - missing 16 of 21 attempts - that the Wolverines will have to improve as teams pack their defenses in to limit Dickinson.

If Emoni balls out and keeps his cool his "failure" could be a remarkable success story. And props to Noah tighten up that handle with that foot speed he could be a modern day Elliot Perry, Michael Adams, Rickey Green type all had long N B A CAREERS as undersized guards.

Emoni and Noah can tighten up their game on decision making and creating better shots. everything was forced and that dont work at the end of the game.
He has to play with more composure. He’s not doing anything that hasn’t already been done & i like him. Emotionally he’s still in High School….and he has to get his legs stronger.

Emoni not there yet I understand he made shots but I encourage people to take note of the type of shots he took and most importantly pay attention to what he looked like when he wasn’t scoring. His iq needs to get better man and he’s a terrible help defender. On the next level where there’s multiple 6’7-6’9 forwards he’ll struggle to get separation and that step back won’t save him every time. Good game against Michigan but I hope he’s focused on getting better or it’ll be short lived

Big facts I waited and scrolled thru the comments b4 posting mines. He definitely not ready for the NBA yet. He’s too damn tall with speed to just be running up and down the court just to wait at the 3 point line waiting to get the ball and shoot a damn 3 everytime. Defense giving him the lane and won’t take it. Yeah he scored 20+ but damn he can score more if he develops a off ball game. He only cut to the basket twice the whole damn game!!! Then And he’s not a defender at all. I’m not hating or knocking he a good player but his IQ ain’t there yet and he don’t know how to use his size yet to full potential. Once he truly work on that he will be a big problem frfr. I was mainly impressed with Farrakhan and Dickerson imo
