Emmett played college basketball at Texas Tech University. Emmett won the 2004 NCAA slam dunk contest, leaping over six children to take the title. Emmett earned the only perfect score of the night in the semifinals by tossing a bounce pass to himself off the back wall.
The Seattle SuperSonics drafted him as the 35th overall pick of the 2004 NBA Draft before trading him to the Memphis Grizzlies, where he appeared in eight games during his rookie season before being traded to the Heat in the 2005 offseason as part of the deal that sent Eddie Jones to the Grizzlies in exchange for Jason Williams and James Posey. He played for the Lietuvos Rytas in the Lithuanian league from the start of 2006-2007 season, however he was dismissed at the end of 2006. After one month Emmett signed contract with the Los Angeles D-Fenders.
