There was a point in time he said his son was so good he was about to start practicing left hand 3-pointers, that’s how delusional he was/is
Emoni Bates transferring to Eastern Michigan
- Thread starter dtownreppin214
- Start date
Hopefully he does well and is able to show teams like the guangzou loon lions what he is capable of
His athleticism is almost nonexistent. He needs to be locked in the weight room and track and put skill work second. He should focus on being a strictly catch and shoot guy for the next level.
I’m not an expert at the eye test thing but he looks like he has a tight core. And not in a good way. And not enough muscle on his frame.
He should have been swimming and playing other sports (soccer, track, football even dance) outside of basketball season to get his mobility and athleticism up.

How can you tell his core is tight? Is it from the way he hunches over while dribbling?
That and he seems stiff from the knees up.
Yeah he’s just weak all over and have imbalances all over probably. Those type of dudes should work on their bodies first, and then the skill set. Their bodies is what holds them back at first when they’re this skilled.
He need to bush his pops from making any decisions about his basketball future going forward
They finally made the right decision to send him to EMU. They’ll win the mac, make the tourney, and he’ll get exposure. He’ll go down as a top 3 eagle ever after iceman and earl boykins
We will see… but first order of business bush pops from making anymore decisions regarding his bball future

Yep. Skinny is fine if you're smooth/graceful like KD plus having KDs reach.
He's not really a smooth athlete, not explosive or powerful. Since he's not "quick twitch" it would help to just be big and strong. Like go more Karl Malone and less KD. These skinny brehs gotta eat more and lift, especially when you're young and full of testosterone. Not even sport specific lifting but just straight Oly lifts like squats, cleans/jerks, deads etc.
Luka is a good example of a bigger wing that is slow and not particularly athletic yet strong as fukk. Not saying EB plays like LD but extra mass can help if you're not a freaky athlete.

He doesn’t look very elite to me.
Maybe he needs to work on those jazz hands and breast strokes.
