Bam Adebayo: The Next Dwight Howard?
From college phenom to NBA All-Star, Bam Adebayo has drawn comparisons to one of the league's most dominant big men.
Now, as the Heat prepare to face the Lakers in the NBA Finals, Adebayo will have the opportunity to prove himself against one of the best in the game.
Adebayo, a 23-year-old center, was drafted by the Heat with the 14th overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft. He quickly became a key contributor, averaging 6.9 points and 5.2 rebounds per game as a rookie. In his second season, Adebayo took a leap, averaging 13.2 points and 9.2 rebounds per game and earning his first All-Star selection.
Adebayo's rise has been compared to that of Dwight Howard, who was also a dominant center in his early career. Howard was named the NBA Defensive Player of the Year three times and led the Orlando Magic to the NBA Finals in 2009.
Adebayo has shown similar potential, averaging 15.9 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game this season. He has also been a force on the defensive end, averaging 1.3 blocks per game.
In the NBA Finals, Adebayo will face his toughest test yet. The Lakers are led by LeBron James and Anthony Davis, two of the best players in the league. Adebayo will need to play his best if the Heat want to win the championship.
If Adebayo can continue to play at a high level, he has the potential to become one of the best players in the NBA. He has the size, athleticism, and skill to be a dominant force on both ends of the court. With continued hard work and dedication, Adebayo could become the next Dwight Howard.
