Miami Heat: Bam Adebayo Needs To Be Himself From Tip And Throughout

Adebayo was attacking Anthony Davis, at times, who is definitely a top-five defender in the league. If he can score on Davis, then he can score on anyone in the league.

He was all over the court impacting the game. It was seen on Wednesday night that he was back as a playmaker from the elbow, dropping dimes left and right.

Adebayo needs to keep attacking the rim too, as he is a very good finisher and free throw shooter when fouled. That is also a benefit.

He needs to and it would help to put his defender in foul trouble more often. It is a win-win for Adebayo when thinking about him attacking the rim.

As far as his defense, he’s been good, as always. Adebayo had really great moments against Davis, who is one of the hardest guys to guard in the league.

He only went 1-6 when Adebayo defended him. Bam was also in the passing lanes all night long, leading to six steals.
