Edrice “Bam” Adebayo since March has played 17 games and of those 17 games he has shot over 50% from the field only twice. Over that stretch he has a 54% TS and on the year is sitting at 55% TS well below the league average for his position at 61%.

For comparison’s sake, other centers who are making around $30m/year:

Rudy Gobert 35m/year - 66% TS

Alperen Sengun $34m/year - 57% TS

Isaiah Hartenstein 28.5m/year - 62% TS

For laughs: Jokic is at 67% TS

That 83 points may have been the biggest fluke in NBA history. He may have set his name in the record books but there is zero chance in hell the Heat aren’t thinking about moving on from him and Herro this off-season.

Says more about the sad state of this generation’s players than anything. They treat it like a video game instead of sportsmanship. The last 5 minutes of that game was a disgrace. Then again. I’m watching Drew Timme start against OKC so everything feels like a disgrace right now. Notis turned off.

if they paid attention to bam before they would know he’s not a high volume scorer, his impact is greater than that but he can drop 20+ when needed (or 80).

_brndnjms_

Why is that? The roster looks well built and talent is does almost evenly. Was it injuries? Chemistry? Coaching? Players not engaged?

Automatic_Beat_699 | Raptors

2 | 6 hours ago

There’s def talent but not necessarily distributed perfectly at all. We have like the 2nd or 3rd worst percent on open 3s. Good defenses often end up finding ways to clog the middle of the floor and force us to shoot all game which never goes well.

Also when Scottie has a matchup he’s able to score on well the team flows 20x better. Only problem of as a shot creator he’s not elite (yet hopefully) so we end up with some games where he has 25 and others where the matchup or defensive schemes doesn’t favor him and he has like 8 points. Or end with less than 10 shots.

I can keep going in depth but just to not make this any longer TLDR: not enough offensive consistency across the roster and still lacking in 3pt shooting

He wasn’t even averaging 20! It was like 18.7 or something. He’s been playing like this all fucking season. He’ll have two ok games. Maybe he scores 22 in one of them, and then 3 absolute shit games, then one really good game where Lowe and the data pundits say he’s dpoy, all-nba, then 2 ok-mid games …repeat.

Comparing the TS% to any of these other centres makes no sense. Bam stretches the floor more than any of the others, has a much more dynamic shot profile and only Sengun is comparable for what they are required to do as a creator

Prior_Chemist_5026 | Celtics

4 | 11 hours ago

Also Bam is a much better defender than Hartenstein or Sengun

Otherwise-Formal-220 | Heat

2 | 10 hours ago

Does he really stretch the floor in a good way? I ask because he shoot 7 threes today. Made 1. He’s shooting 6 threes a game at 32%. Pretty sure defenses are begging lg him to bail them out and shoot the three. As far as defense you can’t compare his defense to hartenstein when they are tasked with different objectives. Bam is primarily used on the perimeter and helps with switches. Hartenstein is a good defender in his own right in that he helps weak side and a good interior defender. I’ll give you sengun tho

Constantly playing a 6’9 player against 7’0 players will have an effect. I will never understand why Spo constantly does this especially when he has Ware there. Their are some 7’0 who Bam can attack but a team like Toronto with size at every position is not one of them because if he gets by Poeltl they have helpers. Ware is right there!!
