Miami Heat: Getting Bam Adebayo His Optimal Looks Would Help Too
Now for Bam Adebayo, it’s hard to judge him on performances because Bam has the right intentions on making his moves, he just needs to get better at getting there and finishing.
He’s being aggressive in finding the right matchups and spots, but sometimes he’s a bit behind in making the move, allowing the defender to meet him as or before he gets there.
People are worried about Bam’s role, but I think he’ll improve over the season and as he gets more familiar with Lowry. As long as he stays hungry and aggressive, he’ll be able to polish that short jumper and continue to work on finishing through tough contact at the rim.
This is exactly how you get Bam involved in the fourth. Just keep feeding him in his spots to get the shots he would take in the first quarter.
That’s showing him that you trust his offensive abilities. Jimmy can always start scoring one way and finish scoring another.
For Bam, it would benefit to keep trusting that elbow jumper and to keep taking the same looks. If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.
While it may seem like an overreaction, when teams show flaws, it’s always important to note and try to figure it out. This has been the biggest issue and the team is too talented to force direct handoffs in the fourth quarter, while Jimmy takes zero shots.
The Miami Heat have shown they can dominate and close games, they just need consistency doing it. That, certainly, starts from the top.
