Miami Heat: 3 players poised to benefit from Kyle Lowry’s arrival

Miami Heat players who will benefit from Kyle Lowry: Bam Adebayo
Bam Adebayo will benefit greatly from having Kyle Lowry around in Miami. Big men thrive off of the play of their point guards, and Lowry is one of the best.
The Miami Heat center had another great season last year but is set to do even better. With Lowry running the point, he’ll have more opportunities than he ever has.
The pick n’ roll between Lowry and Adebayo should be beautiful. There should be alley-oops every other possession with them at the helm.
Lowry has never played with a center as good as Adebayo. The same can be said for Adebayo, as Lowry will be the best point guard he’s ever played with.
Each of them should elevate the other’s game when on the court. There’s nothing like a classic pick n’ roll game between a point guard and a center.
Lowry will also be able to space the floor a bit more for Adebayo. He’ll be another three-point shooter on the perimeter to draw defenders out of the paint.
In tandem, Adebayo won’t have to deal with as many players clogging the paint. This will allow him to dominate the paint even more than he would have.
Lowry’s presence alone will be able to help Adebayo. He could be in for a monster season next year with the Miami Heat.
