Emoni Bates became the first sophomore to ever win Gatorade’s National Player of the Year award, and his efforts have been recognized across the country as a potential generational talent. He’s playing in Ypsilanti, Michigan, on the radar of the Detroit Pistons.
Bates is emerging as a high school basketball legend after averaging 32 points per game this season which included a 63 point and 21 rebound performance back in February.
Every single decade there comes a player who’s destined to transcend the landscape of the league.
In the 80’s it was Michael Jordan, the 90’s was Kobe Bryant, the 00’s was LeBron James, and the 10’s could very well end up being Luka Doncic.
