Only thing Bates is lacking is maturity. Don’t know if he has realized but he has been more impactful in this game than he ever has. But here’s the kicker - he hasn’t had the ball in his hands much at all this game!!
@willcoleman1988 One off-season getting stronger and he is going to be DIFFERENT!
@willcoleman1988 why is Emoni in the game. It ain't time yet.
@willcoleman1988 The best thing about Freshmen is that they become Sophomores. I can’t remember who originally said that, but experience is important. He’s getting better.
@willcoleman1988 I think he’s better off the ball. He can make the secondary pass. Move without the ball. Rebound . Make more of an impact than one on one play
@willcoleman1988 He has spaced the floor, cut well, and when he has had the ball, looked to create for others as well as himself. Agree with Mr. Bradford below, one season in the weight room and a little more experience and he will be LEGIT.
@willcoleman1988 He just needs to add to his frame. He’s not able to get passed his man.
@willcoleman1988 @EyesOfTigerFan Catch and shoot, and some nice assists after quick ball movement.
@willcoleman1988 He also finished with 6 assists and only one turnover. Bates balled out. He’s developing
