Miami Heat: Bam Adebayo Is Just Playing Closer To The Rim…

From a raw and overall perspective, he isn’t asked to be one of the Miami Heat’s best perimeter players on both sides now.

Indicative by his low assist numbers relative to the rest of his career, he isn’t tasked with being as much of a playmaker for the Miami Heat with Kyle Lowry in tow.

On the other side but to the same effect, he isn’t asked to always defend one of the other team’s best perimeter players and though he still does, at times, he isn’t having to do that more than he isn’t now.

That allows him to play closer to the rim. That also allows him to be more of his true self, an elite and supreme rim finisher, while also being right there to dominate the glass.

Everything isn’t as complicated as it seems and this is certainly one of them.

Regardless of why it’s happening, it’s just good that it is and if he maintains it, the sky is the limit for him and the rest of his Miami Heat counterparts.
