No Hassan Whiteside? No Problem.

Bam Bam, as his mother fondly calls him, was drafted as the 14th overall pick by Miami Heat in the 2017 NBA Draft. After just playing one season for the Kentucky Wildcats, he was regarded as a five-star recruit and decided to enter the 2017 NBA Draft. Adebayo was also selected in the 2016 McDonald's All-American East Roster.

Though Heat have lost Hassan Whiteside to a bone injury, Bam Bam has been filling the gap for the Defensive Beast. He has been confidently backing up Kelly Olynyk and has shown no signs of backing down.

The 6ft 10 in Center maybe undersized for his position but, but his freakish length and athleticism help him compensate for his size. He has a chiseled frame and possesses impressive mobility and agility for his size. He also has impressive quickness and explosiveness, which show the amount of defensive potential he has.

Many NBA experts believe that Adebayo can grow into a future Defensive Rebounding Star.
