6’8, 205 after gaining 35 pounds is insane to me.

It looks more like that weight gain is from liquor and eating like IG thots.... not deliberate muscle mass.

he probably should've had a target goal of 185, and then figure out from there what his body is able to sustain.

This… people see this massive weight gain and honestly it’s probably a negative for him. Pack on too much weight and it fuks with your already limited athleticism

Injuries are a thing, conditioning, etc

Too much weight too quickly. Remeber Cade Cunningham did same shyt. Put on like 20 lbs in one offseason and ended up missing his whole sophomore season because he got injured. Too much stress on body putting that much mass on quickly

It won't matter unless dude sees the floor. Cade is a starter unless something happens in practice

Breh gained 35 lbs AND got darker???

He ain't getting the minutes like Cade to probably do that tho, probably gonna take a lot of good time in the G still to prepare his body, if he's edfective


Also idk if it's just me but he look like he grew an inch too

 

[King Poetic]

He just need a opportunity

And in Cleveland he might not get it

I like to see the kid some playing time before they calling people bust

Not true.

Politics

Is the only thing keeping emoni bates from actualizing his potential.
via the ramp up model from adversity narrative.

Long jam at the 3.

He'll be fine.

Politics

Centered around imagery.

Are the political factors keeping bates.
from getting a green light like cade cunningham.

Emoni’s weight gain won’t mean much of anything because his biggest issue is that he has to work hard for every shot,has a short wingspan so he wasn’t the best finisher in the world and isn’t all that athletic.

Unless he has adjusted his game somehow it means nothing .

Maybe the lack of finishing was just a strength thing and not a athleticism/length issue ..we’ll see

These posts.
I haven’t seen much of him since his weight gain but I’m just assuming most of it came in the offseason within a 3-4 month timeframe. Therefore it’s most likely 97% fat and like 3% of actual muscle gain. Hopefully his transformation helps him finish through contact better, and helps him be more explosive with the ball so he doesn’t have to settle for jumpshots all the time. He has a long way to go still but he is also young as shyt, he’ll be good as long as he keeps developing.
