X worked out with six teams prior to the draft. Should get a good look in the summer league.

💥 Was just watching this kid’s film today. Great pickup! Rodrick Hunter

We’re all clippers fans now! At least for the next few weeks

Got dang. Love it!

Pretty annoying that CSU will have built two arenas in the span of like 30 years that are both significantly better than the JAR. Yet UA has done absolutely nothing but paint some bleachers and put in a new scoreboard. Great commitment to the program.

They could have at least read what seems to be a pretty accurate pre-draft review. March 9, 2023 Bates wasn't able to get Eastern Michigan into the MAC tournament, as his team went 5-13 in conference play and 8-23 overall, meaning his season ended March 3. Bates had some moments, dropping a combined 66 points against South Carolina and Michigan, but was more or less a net negative in conference play He posted a paltry 49% true shooting percentage with far more turnovers than assists and while being a sieve defensively, often looking like he was barely trying while playing selfish basketball. This probably wasn't what NBA scouts or Bates envisioned when he elected to transfer from Memphis last spring, and he has work ahead of him now to be a sure-fire draft pick if he enters. Standing 6-9 and having just turned 19 years old in late January, Bates' tough shot-making prowess and overall scoring instincts hold some appeal, but he plays such a losing brand of basketball on both ends of the floor, making him a relatively tough sell. -- Jonathan Givony

I know the transfer portal will be part of this, but 2024 will be one of the most important recruiting classes in the history of the program. 5 open scholarships + any additional departures. The health of the program going forward depends on the 2023-24 season results & 2024 recruiting class. OU and Buffalo are the cautionary tales.

And the Cavaliers drafted him. Did they not have any scouts to send 30 miles down the road?
