Go back the last 10, 20 or say 25 years. Please don't go back to George Gervin since few of us watched him play at EMU (for the most obvious reason is that much of the board might not have been alive.
)
I'm thinking of a sharpshooting guard with great range. Steph Curry comes to mind.
BTW, Charles Ramsey's EMU team really did a number on Steph, his 1st game.
" In his first collegiate game, against Eastern Michigan, Curry finished with 15 points but committed 13 turnovers. In the next game, against Michigan, he scored 32 points, dished out four assists, and grabbed nine rebounds. Curry finished the season leading the Southern Conference in scoring with 21.5 points per game."
Even though Emoni is TWO years out of high school, but as frequently mentioned, a YEAR YOUNG for his class, Emoni has a good chance to put up Steph-like numbers at EMU this season.

Can anyone off the top of their head think of these 6' 8" (or taller) bean pole fmr. college players who can shoot the lights out of the ball with range to near mid court? The doubting Thomas might recall JaQuan Hart who had similarities to Emoni, but size seems to be the biggest similarity. That would be like me saying I'm the same height as George W. Bush. That's fine, but meaningless.
I would have to go thru the NBA draft list for say the last 10 or 15 years to find a comparable.
