Is Emoni Bates An All Time Bust?

[Reggie]

Fam he ain’t ever averaging 20-25 in the league lol quit it

We can only hope so at least. I'll never wish the worst on a prospect personally. What do i have to gain from him being a bust?

What? Just because I said he ain’t ever going to average 20-25 doesn’t mean he’s a bust or I’m hoping he fails lay off the drugs my man. It’s obvious he not as good as advertised,he can’t score 20-25 at Memphis how the hell he gonna do that in the league?

I never thought I would say this about a black man.

Penny ain’t coaching shyt.

First Wiseman came to the league completely unprepared now this

Damn they turn their comments off after a loss (this is the post prior to losing post where people are going in)

During timeouts, Penny probably be like "Go do yo shyt, nikka!"

Purposely created his AAU team to only feature Emoni and had Emoni shooting 35x a game and everyone else's purpose was to pass him the ball. Created a prep team for Emoni and kicked off a talented teammate off the team because he disagreed with the philosophy of Emoni vs everyone else. He attacks scouts and reporters online if they say anything he deems negative about Emoni. He's essentially what people thought Lavar was but he's way worse. Lavar put his kids in a position to succeed.

being from there, when I heard he transfered from Ypsilanti Lincon to 'Ypsi Prep' i was like "oh it must be a new school like Skyline"

then i looked up its Web 1.5 ass website and realized 'wait...ypsi prep doesn't even exist " I mean they haven't even updated it since he redeclared...it says emoni is a 2022 grad committed to MSU

Wiseman unpreparedness isn't on Penny in his defense. In fact, he would have benefitted for coming back after the suspension instead of dipping out when he did.

House of highlights

ball is life

cacs and Indians who don’t know shyt about basketball hyping dudes up who aren’t worth the hype

There was also the fact that he was like 6'7 ass a freshman and lead his team to the state title. Everybody assumed (myself included) that he, like most high school freshman, still had more growing too do along with plenty of time to develop his game even more. Nobody knew that that was pretty Where he would stay, or the fact that his dad would end up being a bigger hinderance in his development than he first showed. nikka tried to fast forward the process and now stuck on pause.

Pop's saw the allure of the NIT money and fukked over his son in the process trying to cash in as early as possible.

He was floating the idea of Emoni reclassifying even before the NIL was confirmed. That #1 ranking had him seeing $. I don't blame him there, But you can't get so caught up in the money that you short change your kids development. That's how the money even came into play in the first place. Like Freaky Fred Taylor always say, "You gotta keep the main thing, THE MAIN THING."

Criticizing and talking shyt about people who are not even legally able to drink will forever be weird to me

 

[Trot LaRoc]

Cam Reddish was utter dogshyt at Duke, shot 35% from the field and still went 10th overall.

Cam is 6'8" and looks the part
