If Emoni Bates was a prospect in the 2024 NBA Draft and not the 2023 NBA draft, would the Cleveland Cavaliers 6'8" wing prospect have been a first round pick?
In this years draft class would Emoni Bates have been a first round pick?
Emoni Bates’s shot translates to the professional game. That appeared like it was going to be the case as early as the 2023 Las Vegas Summer League. The ensuing season that Bates spent mostly in the G League with the Cleveland Charge only confirmed it.
Bates shot 37.1% from distance on 10.5 attempts in 27 games with the Charge. His ability to get up a high volume of attempts is what was most impressive. Teams knew that he wanted to shoot threes, but that didn’t stop him from doing so. His quick release, limitless range, and ability to confidentially take contested jumpers allowed him to do so.
There were few things more impressive than when he got hot and all of those things were working in concert. This included a 38-point performance for the Charge in the beginning of January where he went 8-15 shooting from three.
