I've seen this twice and just realized the man said there are 49 teams in the league LOL. When Gil is on a roll I don't think he knows what he is saying half the time hahahah. Gotta love him!!

49th pick is wild, kid has mad potential

[SonnyK]

He won high school player of the year as a sophomore. So he didn't just beat Chet, Paulo and Jabari when he won it. He also beat Cade, Green and Mobley. Basically beat out the top three picks in the previous two drafts as a 15/16 year old and then went late in the second round...

As a lebron fan it disgusts me how all of a sudden Cleveland can run a organization

[justincase]

Emoni was built for the NBA not college… they slept on him frfr

[xstasifr]

Ah yes, all 48 teams regret passing on him

[DraikoBeats]

I been known bout him since high school. I hope the nba doesn’t discourage his confidence. He’s always had that IT factor

[ccr]

Emoni is absolutely a bucket. Obviously all the off the court stuff is why he dropped, but 49? Steal. Hell, even if he went late teens or 20s, why not? At that point in the draft no one is gonna have the talent level that he has, so worth the roll of the dice.

I’m from Memphis and watched him a lot.

His freshman year he just wasn’t ready yet and at EMU it seemed like he just wanted to put up numbers instead of playing winning basketball.

[dreamboy]

Problem with emoni sometimes he can be selfish at times once he gets that mindset out of him he will be OK

[SnappingTurtle]

🏀💪Agreed ... Surprised Charlotte, Portland, & Grizzlies passed on him in the 2nd Rd .. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

[gudshepherd]

Been following this kid since he was 9. Boy was hooping then something fierce. His talent has always been his size but the training he put in ive watched! Truely inspiring stuff!

[FC-icgt]

Cavs keeping him in the g league to develop him and keep his head straight, before unleashing him into the NBA. Smart move.

[epmike]

According to Gil, the NBA has expanded to 48 teams.

[johnedward-ht]

It’s crazy how fans don’t like him but the pros LOVE his game .. make it make sense

[alfredjones]

I blame the draft being so dead on why ppl are so high on Emoni

[wavynation]

He different definitely go bring a different style too the nba🔥👀🔥🔥🔥🔥🛸🛸

[elliottwilson]

The fact that he showed Cole Anthony instead of Faultz is funny

[chrishines]

All People gotta do is look at the Pick when the Patriots grabbed Brady, no one knew he would be the G.O.A.T

[JadenJPDB]

Emoni's draft stock was dropped due to off court incidents and that he had a bad coach if he can show that potiential of his high school prime form he will be a deadly player for the Cavaliers remember he was compared by media as the next kd due to his height and playmaking ability. He has alot of time to develop his skills he is only 19 years old right now.
