National basketball recruiting expert: Emoni Bates best freshman since LeBron James
| Quote: |
Bates, a 6-foot-8, 200-pound rising sophomore prospect at Ypsilanti (Mich.) Lincoln High School has completely exploded on the national scene. Now 247Sports director of basketball recruiting Evan Daniels is offering up the most glowing assessment of Bates' game yet:
"(Bates is) the best freshman I've ever seen," Daniels told CBS Sports for a feature on the Class of 2022 guard. … "Obviously he has some impressive physical tools at his size; he's a good athlete. But the thing that really stands out is his skill set. He has advanced scoring moves and just ridiculous footwork for a kid his age. I think it's that combination of things that makes him certainly the best freshman talent that I've scouted at that stage." |

Maybe if [by then] I'm too mature for high school and I feel like am ready to go to college, I might for a year and then go to the league. Or just get better and stay in the gym for a summer and just work out and get better every day. But it's been mentioned a lot in my house, re-classing up after my junior year and playing a freshman year in college." |
