    the grizz has some of the more seasoned guys among the summer league teams and big bodies. Was a good win. I know it’s summer league but still. Def shows that Emoni got it

    We found a similar player to Duncan Robinson but I think Sam Merrill has a better potential. I hope Bates and Merrill will be on cavs roster and rotation.

    talk about turning it around i called him number 5 last game cause all he did was turn the ball over maybe they had him at point or something but Sam Merrill came to play today

    Merril seems like one of those dudes that’s a ball hog because he thinks he above everyone else

    Emoni has the potential to be the next Gilbert arenas. One of those talents that you’re baffled made it to the second round.

      It’s summer league lol, Emoni Bates has freakishly short arms for his height his defense is going to be a HUGE problem. Let the season start first before calling him a steal.

      ​@Chris wow. Everything you said is false and wrong.

      Why do you casuals always regurgitate things without educating yourselves first?

    I hope both of them are on the active roster. Mobley too

      ​@Zane Bishop-Fennessy sigh* casuals casuals everywhere, but not a single one knows how to use google….

      Its ISIAHA Mobley. Evan’s older brother who went in the 2nd round last year

    I grew up in the same town as Sam merril and he is our home town hero! Love to see him succeed!

    I think Sam took it personal when the grizzlies waived him 😂

    Sam merril was last pick of draft by my bucks last year (maybe two years ago). Glad to see him still in the league. Want the best for him that boy can shoot

    Sam Merrill said sharing is caring, so he gives the ball to the nylon

    Steal of the whole draft yall

    Emoni Bates looks pretty good out there, they just need him to work on creating space for himself

    we know that emoji bates will spend a lot of time with the charge this year. my question is, how much time will sam Merrill? if his destiny in the nba is to be a catch & shoot guy, then why waste his time with the charge this year. get him on the bench with the cavs and PLAY HIM meaningful minutes.

    Gil was right!

    COIN IT RIGHT NOW: SAM “Pointer” MERRILL 😅

    You can’t leave Sam Merrill open even for a split second. Beautiful shooting stroke with no wasted motion that looks the same every time. You’re literally surprised when it doesn’t go in.

    Emoni needed this experience & motivation, i think he let the spotlight get to him young and he didn’t have that hunger as much.
