#1 9th Grader GOING AT EVERYBODY! Emoni Bates 32 Pts 15 Rbs In FIRST HS Game!!!

[@kyleferguson5463]

Very similar game to KD... but his mentality is what’s gonna make him live up to the hype... absolute killa

[@slimeyladude]

Facts

[@memphisprohoops5877]

First thing you notice is that fire...

[@vlone7902]

Plus that footwork pretty hard thing to learn for a kid his age

[@Kyle-py8gg]

KG with a outside game

[@brotherdandy]

Kyle Ferguson This kid’s range is pro ready.

[@iDeejayOh]

I remember watching other videos of him and thinking he was cocky. But you gotta love the killer instinct and passion. Can't knock him for that at all.

[@IntoTokio]

Once he gets that weight up, its over

[@slumped378]

tok williams he doesn’t have to. Look at KD or Brandon Ingram. When you have length and a smooth feel for the game there’s no need for weight.

[@Sleepingcoffee979]

@@slumped378 Brandon Ingram ? He is okay and still needs to get his weight up.

[@lilcoreyrider1717]

@@slumped378 your exactly right...Kevin Garnett

[@lilcoreyrider1717]

Basketball is about skills like soccer....you'll get ran off the court if you're body to big that's why LeBron and D.Wade lost all their weight 3yrs ago, now LeBron rarely cramps up like in 2014 when he lost against Kawhi's Spurs.

No

@ballislife this is the real “Next KD” I’ve been waiting for him to get to this stage for 3 years now!”

[@thegenerationmax123]

His passion is crazy

[@arifshai3864]

He looks like Hassan whiteside for some reason

[@tinawilliams3999]

Been watching him on here for along time and he's getting better and better

[@programR3]

He is still very young and there is so much that he doesn't know about the game just yet. His defense will no doubt improve by the time he becomes a senior. Credit to his school for putting him out there playing against sophomores and seniors instead of waiting based on his age.

[@lakenyahopkins254]

This boy is talented! People talking about cockiness don't know what confidence and the mentally you have to have for this sport or any sport!

[@thart1338]

Andrew Lee Skyline? It’s not that divided each school has like 3-4K kids maybe more

[@deedee4113]

I went to see him play like 2 days ago and he’s definitely a rare talent and has a killer instinct but he doesn’t play defense but he’s only 14 so he has a lot of time

[@ahooe8828]

He needs to work on his defense.. but a great offensive player

[@saintmathieu_]

Emoni's the real deal. Relax with comments about his weight, he's a freshmen and he'll put on more weight throughout high school. Hell, lets say I'm wrong and he stays thin, kid is still dropping 30 and getting the W, so what's the problem?

He using cocky, being compatible and as the best 9th grader in his class he should be able to get in peoples faces

[@denzelwilliams1041]

If he not in they face on D he playing to loose. I wouldn't say he to cocky he just playing hard nose and being an intimidation factor. One day he got have to face somebody as elite as him and they gone have to humble him on the court but till then he claiming that top dawg aggressor mode

[@detroitkid33]

@@denzelwilliams1041 This kid has faced the best comp in his class and beyond on the AAU circuit. He's a good help defender and uses his length to get lots of blocks and steals. He still has lots of time to develop as 1 on 1 lockdown defender.
