Depends on his work ethic.

He is going to need to get much stronger.

And his handle is going to need to improve...He is going to need to be an offensively skilled stud because he will be a defensive liability in the league.



ALL 17 year olds need to get stronger and are not yet ready for the NBA, particularly on defense

99.9999999% of NBA HOFers were in same boat at 17.

Over 98% of them were in that same boat at 19.

Bates is slow and not very athletic. That aint going to change when he is 19,21 or 25...That is why he will ALWAYS be a defensive liability unless he puts on 40+lbs.

And Duren is 1 Month older than Bates...Compare the two. Bates is behind is his physical development.

Yeah Durant couldn't bench 185lbs when he came into the league but you also couldn't easily knock him off his line when he drove. Bates has a weak base.
