    Jalen Duran Is right next to him man

    I wouldn’t be surprised If Bates finds a way into this draft class as well

    I want Chet though

    I love Chet but if it's Chet of Bates give me Bates. I legitimately think he's the closest thing to the next KD we've seen

    Duren will be eligible for the 2022 draft but Bates won't.

    I think there’s more to it I’m still not sold at Bates will not be in this draft class

    Why would he go through this trouble to re-classify and not be able to go in the draft

    So it is 19 for sure? I thought if they had a year out of high school they were eligible too

    If I were Emoni I’d do 1 year college and then head to the g league for 1 year and start the adjustment phase. That gives him 2 years of good quality weight training programs.

    Given his stats can you explain how Holgrem became the most gifted shooter in his draft class?

    Is this draft class composed of nothing but brickers? Holmgem shot 23% from 3 his last playing year wtf.

    Emoni Bates should consider the G League and play 2 years and make near $1 million dollars and play with talented players and learning from veterans and work out getting stronger. Getting better, smarter and shoot NBA 3 pointers.

    Playing 2 years in the G League VS College Lifestyle and Social Life
