Miami Heat: Bam Adebayo Can And Should Be The Best Two-Way Player On Floor

Though Ivica Zubac did more than you would have wanted him too against the Clippers, Bam still had a good all-around showing on defense. He is everywhere and does everything, which can be just as much of a gift as a curse.

Adebayo shows these flashes of greatness on both ends of the floor. He just needs to put it all together more

Was it an Adebayo coming out party? No, not officially and even with Thursday night’s opening frames, but it’s not like the signs haven’t always been there with him.

These last two games were the types of games the coaches need to show Bam and even in defeats. The only thing that needs to happen for his game is consistency.

Yes, it’s much easier said than done but he can do it whenever he wants to. It was good to see him step up for this Miami Heat team when Jimmy Butler went out due to an ankle injury though.

Hopefully, the last two contests have been light bulb moments for him. He doesn’t have to wait for Butler to be out to take over though.

He can do it whenever he wants to. In fact, he should.
