Miami Heat’s Teachable Moments From Milwaukee Bucks: An Aggressive Bam Adebayo

More Offensive Aggression from Bam Adebayo

This was something that was harped on all last season and will continue to be until it’s no longer a thing. Bam Adebayo has all the ability in the world, but he has to realize and recognize that.

If the Miami Heat want to be their best selves, then Bam has to be his best self and that includes being as aggressively as humanly possible on the offensive end. The Miami Heat go as Bam and Jimmy Butler do and that’s not only on the defensive end of the floor, but on the offensive side as well.

Too often, Brook Lopez was able to sit back at the rim. It wasn’t drop coverage off of the screen, it was stay coverage under the rim.
