Yeah its bad...I don't know if that is worse or the fact someone is playing defense force for him purely because he is from Michigan.
Wait...you think I'm A. "Playing defense" for Bates (idk even know what I'd be defending or what side) and B. I am because he's from the state I grew up in??



We gotta do better yall

Look u going back at me cuz you need ur heroin fix i suppose. But i'm pretty sure Zack Embid and Tatum didn't average 25 a night in college. And of course you will go with the flashes thing. But again this cat is technically going into his senior year in high school but instead is a freshman in college. So his circumstances is different no matter if he reaches that level or not. It's facts that he will be drafted for his POTENTIAL to do just that in the league cause it's damn sure not cause any GM expects him to be a defensive stopper. But of course you no the future so you already know how the kid's future will play out.
It don’t matter they showed the potential and had games where you could see it!!! You haven’t seen shyt from Emoni that warrants he’ll average 25 a game in the nba!!! I said give me ONE game where he showed 25 a game nba ability and you CANT! I don’t want Emoni to fail but he hasn’t shown anything at the college level! Just like Bronny I don’t want him to fail but he not it!! You crackhead bytch you don’t know basketball!!!

Yeah u and ur drug references must be cuz u can't get a fix. And again i said he would be drafted on his potential to average 20-25 a night and i stand by that. U act like I don't know the kid is struggling. And talking about ion know basketball when i'm sure i've forgotten more b-ball then you will EVER learn but if it makes you feel good to believe that then so be it fukk boi.

Who averaged 25 a game in the league and didn’t show potential or close to averaging that in college show me boy,you stupid crackhead ass bytch,Emoni hasn’t shown any flashes or had a single game where he looked like he could average 25 a game dumb bytch

Zach Lavine looked like a roleplayer in college at best, averaged under double digits and is right now one of the best scorers in the game

I agree with what you’re saying that some guys are late bloomers. With Zach it was apparent that he had world class athleticism, at least from a leaping ability.

Bates’ vert off an approach was 31.5”…Lavine’s is 46”…

bates’ measurables won’t be the reason he’s drafted unless he hits another growth spurt.

This experience will hopefully humble him and tbh, SI needs to do better and stop putting a 15-17 year olds on the cover labeling them the future of basketball…it hasn’t worked since lebron 20 years ago. Bates was on the cover at 15 years old with the phrase “Magic, MJ, Lebron and now Bates” …that just sets up an unrealistic expectations…

these publications and recruiting services are far too thirsty to find the next lebron and they jump at every opportunity to mislabel someone and si far it’s not worked out.

Kinda feel bad for the young homie..

he’s clearly a product of delusional parenting and bad advice

luckily he’s young enough where he can still develop into a decent player just not a star..
Could you explain a bit more?
What parenting and advice?
