He's the #1 7th Grader in America! | 6'6 Emoni Bates Doesn't Miss!!

The #1 7th Grader in the country was in Akron to bring home an AAU championship and that's exactly what he did. Emoni Bates put on a show in the hometown of Lebron James and showed why he's considered to be among the most talented youth basketball players in the country. At 6'6, Bates has the basketball world buzzing and it doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon. One of the most versatile kids you'll see at his age, he has a competitive spirit that separates him from most. Most kids his height/age don't have the motor skills on the floor that he does and certainly don't have the perimeter game that he possesses. Too long for the guards and too quick & skilled for the bigs. We could be witnessing something special. Stay locked in for more from HWBDHoops!
