This is why i fw Gill. Nobody else giving Emoni his flowers now because hes coming frfr.

Ever since Gil said that Cassius Stanley was league ready I've learnt to take shit he says with a grain of salt 😂

Through three preseason games, Bates is averaging 12.6 points per game while shooting 52% from the field and 45% from the 3-point line. Bates helped the Cavs win the NBA Summer League championship. Bates has plenty of potential as a scorer. Cavs got a big steal selecting him, may not be NBA-ready just yet but has a ton of potential. But going that far for him becoming the 2nd option for CAVS is a bit far 😂😂😂

Two 6'1" guards ain't gon get it done they a defensive liability, so realistically you gotta pick one or get one to come off the bench Think Lillard and Cj tried for years. You don't need two scoring guards one gotta play some defense. Kobe and Mj 6'6" shooting guards.

I’m a Cavs fan and I love Emoni game but he not taking DG spot at the 1 DG is a True PG with elite level playmaking you can see it on tape and in the numbers. Emoni has elite scoring potential and at best he’ll be a solid passer but not enough to run the 1. Best case scenario he can take Donovan spot if he do end up leaving or fill out and be the 3 if Donovan stays.

I dont see it, he is a pure scorer who is streaky at best when shooting from the games i have seen. If all you can do is score, you are destined to be a role player, six man. He would have to develop court vision and become an above average defender to be the star of the Cavs.

@@CutToTheMarrow yeah if he doesn’t improve defensively that will probably be his ceiling. Defense is going to be the key for him. If he becomes average to above average defender that’s exactly what they need at the 3 spot. They need floor spacing & a big wing who can defend with those 2 small guards. He doesn’t need to be an elite defender either the 2 rim protectors on the floor, just be able to hold his own against the bigger scorers Mitchell & garland can’t guard. It’s not guaranteed but he has a path to getting real minutes here on a team trying to win now & build for the future. I think he is in a great situation.

I thought Brandon Jennings was Tory lanes 🤣

I was pissed when Atl passed on him when we had out second round pick

i think his floor is a great 6th man but his ceiling is the sky's limit

Darius is definitely a true pg

Emoni Bates a killer numsayin

That underdog promotion is real, I opened an account and added $400 and they matched my $400.. I thought it would probably take about a day or so, but that $800 showed up once the sign-up was done. Shouts to underdog though, I ended up getting my money back the same day. I forfeited the bonus cause certain features isn't available in certain states in the US. (Yet) And drafting players isn't my thing, maybe once they've gotten a sports book I'll try back. I still should be good for that bonus cause I didn't use it. 🤷🏿‍♂️😁😁✌🏿

Ohhh shit Cleveland got Emoni Bates....Yeah this my Rookie of the year!!

This the realist thing Gilbert said about any player.

Love the Bates hype but he's not threatening DG or Spida's spot on the team. If anything, Strus and Okoro should be concerned, because he'd be slotting in at SF, and getting minutes at SG as needed. Realistically though, he won't start this year for the Cavs anyway. But if Strus isn't shooting lights out this year, I could see Bates start to steal some minutes later in the season.

Yea cavs !!!!

I didnt realize I love to hate McCants til I didn't see him in the studio 😂

Emoni bates' trajectory would be similar to MPJ. He has too much talent to be ignored or stashed on the bench. Not gonna get a ton of minutes his rookie and soph year but he is going to play and showcase.

I’m shocked the raptors didn’t select him

Must have not watched Emoni when he was at Eastern Michigan. He was a poor defender, who was a volume shooter on poor efficiency. He was drafted basically on potential. Perhaps his game adapts better in the pros better than college. It's rare, but it can happen. Wish him the best though: focus on improving, getting a bit stronger, and being an integral part of Cleveland's success.
