"When Bam is at his best for the Heat, it's when he's the most dominant (and most versatile) defensive player in the league. Sure, he can also be a weapon for the Heat on the offensive end of the floor, but that has always been secondary for him. And attempting to force him into a role that doesn't come naturally to him only hurts the rest of the team."
"The Heat need to let Bam be Bam That's why it's important for the Heat to let Bam be Bam. Even though it would be great if Bam could theoretically develop into being the No. 1 option for the Heat on the offensive end of the floor, it's pretty clear that he's never going to get there. And that's OK."
Bam Adebayo is not a natural go-to offensive scorer and the Heat should stop forcing that role onto him. His highest value comes from being a dominant, versatile defensive player, with offense as a secondary weapon. Forcing him into a primary scoring role disrupts team rhythm and harms overall performance. Acceptance that Bam will not become an elite offensive leader should prompt roster construction focused on finding a legitimate No. 1 scoring option. With the right primary scorer, Bam can still be the second-best player on a championship team. Current roster alignment attempted to make him the lead option, which has proven ineffective.
