Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Emoni Bates' story begins in Ypsilanti, Michigan, where he was crowned the Gatorade National Player of the Year in 2020, representing the first-ever sophomore to win the award. He averaged 32.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.1 steals per game that campaign. Bates was a consensus top-five recruit and committed to play collegiate basketball with new coach Penny Hardaway at Memphis. Then, Bates dealt with injury and adjusting to college hoops, prompting him to transfer to his hometown school, Eastern Michigan. After averaging 9.7 points as a freshman at Memphis, Bates rebounded with a 19.2 point per game season at Eastern Michigan, shooting 40.5 percent from the field and 33.8 percent from deep. Bates has the look of an elite shotmaker. His lanky, 6-foot-9 frame resembles Brandon Ingram, and Bates has a knack for tough-bucket getting. His lack of efficiency at Eastern Michigan was subpar, with scoring being the central selling point. Notably, he was excellent in Combine drills, sinking 25-of-30 off-the-dribble shot attempts to tie Penn State's Seth Lundy at the top of the leaderboard. Bates is an active defensive rebounder and can be revved up defensively. Bates has not been in an environment to comfortably and consistently showcase his game since displaying dominance during his sophomore year of high school. Bates' midrange prowess isn't a fit everywhere, but his upside as a microwave scorer gives him sixth-man potential. Bates could spend time in the G League, especially if NBA teams determine he needs to add weight or needs time to acclimate. All of the tangibles remain present for the 19-year-old to capitalize on his skills.

Gets another two-way deal
FCleveland Cavaliers
August 20, 2024
Bates signed a two-way deal with the Cavaliers on Tuesday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Bates was the 49th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft but spent most of his rookie season in the G League after inking a two-way deal. He made 15 NBA appearances last year during the regular season and averaged 2.7 points in 8.9 minutes per game. Bates possesses enough talent to be an NBA contributor but has to improve his consistency if he's going to carve out a role for the Cavaliers, who've established themselves as potential contenders with Donovan Mitchell at the helm.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could sign two-way deal
FCleveland Cavaliers
August 10, 2024
Bates could be a strong candidate to sign a two-way contract with the Cavaliers before the start of the 2024-25 NBA season, according to Craig Fedor of Cleveland.com.
ANALYSIS
Bates has yet to decide his future for the upcoming campaign, but he remains a restricted free agent since he's yet to accept or decline a two-way qualifying offer that remains on the table for him. Bates is a proven performer at the G League level, but the Cavaliers would be open to handing him a two-way deal and testing how he can perform in the NBA before committing to a standard contract.
