The Cleveland Cavaliers have a championship level roster, but they have built it despite inconsistencies in drafting talent the last few seasons. One such draft failure was Emoni Bates, who not only washed out of the Cavaliers' system but probably the NBA entirely.
There was a moment in time when Emoni Bates was considered to be the next great superstar. As a sophomore in high school he was so dominant that some recruiting systems had him as the top player in the nation, even above current juniors and seniors. He reclassified to head to Memphis a year early and make his way toward NBA fame and glory.
