Emoni Bates Back On...Maybe?

[Ipartiedwithhopgood]

Apparently Penny told Emoni he wants to run him at Point Guard. Emoni is getting a ton of crystal balls there.

I will say, fit wise, I’m not sure Emoni fits at any program better than Penny Hardaway’s Memphis.

good call

Is Bates even eligible for the 2022 Draft? He won't be 18 until January. Would be phenomenal for Memphis if they could borrow his services for two years.

***buy his services for two years

So how good is this guy?

I think he was overhyped a year or two ago. The "Next KD" he was dubbed, I believe. Now he's good enough to be third in his class.

Correct, he will not be eligible until 2023.

It's tough to picture Wallace as a coach. He seems like someone that can't even spell his name.

Wallace delivered water door to door to residents during the Flint water crisis. He had no filter on the court I think this dude might have the record for tech fouls and ejections in the NBA, not sure. Probably just goes loco between the lines but is totally different off the court. I think he'd actually make a good coach if he's into it he can probably really help big guys. I could also see him fighting his own player or leading Memphis in techs. Or he could just kinda sit there and not do much of anything. Probably helps in recruiting but looks like they already have a good handle on that.

Who knows.
