"Bam Adebayo hasn't had the best start for the Miami Heat in preseason, and while it may be entirely too early to panic over it, it's certainly worth keeping a close eye on. Considering how good the Heat will need Bam to be this season if they have any hope of emerging as a real player in the Eastern Conference this season, this is not necessarily the start from him that they hoped for."
"Maybe it's just Bam shaking off some offseason rust, but it does feel awfully like he may already be feeling the pressure of having to carry more of the offensive load without Tyler Herro. With Herro set to miss at least the first month of the season due to injury, Bam will certainly have to step up a bit more on the offensive end of the floor."
Bam Adebayo has struggled early in Miami's preseason, shooting 1-for-8 across two games and appearing uncomfortable on offense. The Heat face the prospect of needing Bam to shoulder more offensive responsibility while Tyler Herro is out for at least a month. Adjustment factors include learning a new offensive scheme, integrating Norman Powell, and missing regular rotation pieces. Similar offensive difficulties appeared during Bam's offensive rut last season. The current performance suggests a need for Bam to simplify his offensive game, regain confidence, and settle into his role to help the Heat remain competitive in the Eastern Conference.
