"I think he can be one of the best players in the NBA but he's just an average offensive player. He has the tools to be a great player. When he drives to the basket, certain players will figure out how to use their body to get a layup, he'll end up taking a fadeaway jumper. It's his inability to get 4/5 of those 'im just bigger than you and im laying the ball up.'"
"Defensively, there aren't many other players in the league as versatile and dominant as Bam. However, on the offensive end of the floor, there are too many times when Bam is too passive. He settles for too many jumpers, and with his athleticism, he should be finishing at a higher rate inside the paint. From a fan's perspective, you'd certainly like to see Bam show a little more aggressiveness in those situations."
Bam Adebayo displays elite defensive versatility and dominance but remains only an average offensive player due to limited aggression with the ball. He frequently settles for jump hooks or fadeaways instead of using his size and athleticism to finish at the rim. Opponents exploit his tendency by using their bodies to force him into lower-percentage shots. Fans want more assertiveness on offense when he has defenders off balance. Heavy defensive responsibility and star expectations complicate critiques, but greater finishing frequency and physicality are required to reach elite offensive status.
