After being selected with the 35th pick in the 2004 NBA Draft by the SuperSonics and later traded to the Memphis Grizzlies, Emmett had a winding professional career that took him to the developmental league, Lithuania, Belgium, France, Venezuela, China and several other overseas leagues.

Most recently, Emmett played for 3’s Company of the BIG3 league, finishing second in total points (134) during the 2019 season behind only Joe Johnson (175).
