Bam Adebayo is quietly making the leap Heat critics swore he never would

"Bam Adebayo has quieted many critics across the league with his play to start the season. It's still early, but it does appear as if Bam has made that final leap on the offensive end of the floor to emerge as an all-around NBA superstar. Answering many of the questions surrounding his game offensively, by being more aggressive and successfully developing a 3-point shot, there are very few holes in Bam's two-way game with the way he's playing of late."

"Not only is Bam one of the best (and most versatile) defensive players in the game, but it also appears that he's beginning to emerge as a dominant offensive player, too. Averaging 22 points, nine rebounds, and three assists per game, Bam is racing off to a career-best start to the year. The real difference for Bam this season is his overall aggressiveness."

"Heading into the Heat's game against the Denver Nuggets, Bam is leading all centers in the league in 3-point makes. He's averaging a little more than two made per game and is shooting them at a strong 36 percent clip. It's one of the bigger jumps that we've seen from any players at the position this season. It's not just the percentage, but the volume at which Bam is operating."
