From NBA.com/Stats:
Bam Adebayo is currently limiting opponents to:
- 16.7% FG in Pick & Roll Man
- 21.4% FG in Isolation
Been saying that this might be his year for DPOY. The only problem is Rudy is anchoring an ungodly defense in Minnesota right now.
Yet how come he can’t guard Jokic or any big centers when it matters?
Granted, I’m biased, but Bam is arguably the best in the league at guarding bigs. Even against the Nuggets in finals, Jokic shot noticeably worse when he went against Bam than with any other player. I mean, obviously, Jokic came out on top in the end, but Bam definitely gave him more trouble than most.
Bam guarding the Jokic Murray 2 man game is the most Ive ever seen it get slowed down
Bam dpoy or riot
They want blocks lol defending 1 to 5 is for nerds /s
Bamonte for ROTY
By my calculations that’s pretty good
One of the most underrated players in the league
Bro, it’s 12 possessions lmao
This is what DoninAyton thinks he is doing rn
The Heat have a worse defensive rating with Bam on than with Bam off the court
He is a beast
And he’ll still never win DPOY because he’s not flashy. 2 years ago it was a “games played”. Last year, despite playing nearly 800 more minutes than JJJ (50% more minutes) it was because JJJ was a blocking god. It’s hard for me to say the 2 previous DPOY didn’t deserve it but it certainly feels unfair. Especially since JJJ wasn’t exactly 1.5 times the defender bam was. If someone gives you 90% of the production but can do it for 1.5 times as many minutes, I think you take that person over the person who played somewhat better in the significantly fewer minutes they did play
Sample size of 12 and 17.
Come on man lol this is meaningless. Buddy Hield’s at 18.2% on isos on a similar sample size. Bam’s elite on defence but come on
why don’t his opponents simply pass the ball when they are against him? are they stupid?
And he still won’t win DPOY because insert reasons
