Miami Heat: 3 Point Guards To Unleash Bam Adebayo: Kyle Lowry
This veteran has also seen his named tossed around quite a bit too.
2. Kyle Lowry
At this point everyone and their mother knows about Kyle Lowry being linked to the Heat. In fact, it seems like just a matter of time before the former All-Star makes his way to South Beach.
Lowry could unlock Bam in a way younger point guards never could. Not only does he average about seven assists per game, but his championship experience and veteran leadership could also help Adebayo get over his mental hurdles.
light. Must Read. Should They Trade Into First Round Of NBA Draft?
Bam is not aggressive enough during games and Lowry being in his ear telling him to attack should be exactly the push he needs to take the next step offensively. After seeing what Chris Paul did for Deandre Ayton, I’m more convinced than ever that a player like Lowry is exactly what Adebayo needs.
Obviously. Lowry isn’t the passer that the Point God is but I think that Adebayo’s skill set and athleticism will mesh perfectly with Lowry’s. Also obvious, Lowry is not on the same timeline as Bam (Lowry is 34, Bam is 23) but I think that with 2 years of both Lowry and Jimmy in his ear, Bam’s passiveness should be a thing of the past and he will be ready to truly take the keys to the franchise from Butler.
Just like Lonzo, Lowry is an above average defender which will take some of the defensive load off of Bam’s shoulder’s. The should mean that he will have more energy to exert on the offensive end.
