Why The Miami Heat Do The Deal

At first glance, some may be scratching their heads at this proposal. Don’t the Miami Heat have a franchise centerpiece at the 5 in Bam Adebayo?

Well, they do have a centerpiece in Adebayo. He’s one of the most versatile defensive big men in the league. In fact, he’s so versatile that one might wonder: does he have to play the 5?

At 6’9, he’s always been a little undersized at the position. Furthermore, he’s got the lateral quickness and mobility to play the 4. It’s hard to imagine a good reason why Adebayo wouldn’t thrive with a change in position.

Meanwhile, visions of Adebayo roaming as a free safety with Myles Turner in drop coverage ought to be nightmare fuel for opposing teams. With Jimmy Butler at the point of attack, the Heat could field one of the best defenses in NBA history.
