Miami Heat: Bam Adebayo Has To Continue To Take This Look For His Team
Well, at least he’s shown a more forthcoming willingness to do so.
With that in mind though, here is a huge part of what would help propel his Jump to the next tier, cementing himself as an offensive player to be feared as much as he is on the defensive side of the ball. The example comes from their most recent contest against the Brooklyn Nets.

With the defender dropping way off of Bam, under the rim he’s defending specifically, that affords Bam maximum space to take his shot.
This was a strategy heavily deployed by Brook Lopez and his Milwaukee Bucks in last season’s first-round series sweep in the playoffs.
As seen here though, not only can Adebayo take that shot with rhythm and regularity, but he absolutely should be taking this shot. If it isn’t already apparent, here’s why.
It’s pretty simple. This shot, not only, puts points on the board but it also opens things up elsewhere for him and his teammates.
