Coming into this season for the Miami Heat, a key request, thing, or even, knock, on Bam Adebayo‘s game was that he hadn’t managed to be aggressive enough.

Specifically, when it came to his mentality on offense, he didn’t capitalize on enough of the opportunities that had been afforded to him in the past.

While you love his ability as a playmaker for his teammates, there have been a ton of times where he has had an optimal opportunity to make some things happen on his own accord, but didn’t for some reason.

With that though, he’s come into this season with a totally new attitude, at least, according to the preseason.

Just the preseason though, a common theme for the last week or so, you should be very encouraged by the showings he’s put forth. He’s not the only elite big man in the league that has made a change though and in fact, not the only one in the East.
