Bam Adebayo says he is comfortable playing center or power forward for the Miami Heat
There is lots of talk about him moving from center to power forward this season after the Heat drafted Kel'el Ware in June. Where he lines up on the court is the least Adebayo's worries.
"It's position-less to me," Adebayo said. "I don't really put myself in a box, `I've got to play the four, I've got to play the five.' You go game by game. One minute, Kel'el might be out there with me. It might be some stints I might be out there by myself. It all depends on the flow of the game, pace of the game and who we're playing."'
Adebayo is coming off averaging 19.3 points, 10. rebounds and 3.9 assists last season in what was perhaps the finest of his seven-year career. He just won his second gold medal with Team USA in Paris. In a month, Adebayo teams with Ware, the 7-footer out of Indiana who gives the Heat more size in the frontcourt. Ware can defend, block shots and provide some relief in the middle. But Adebayo insists he is comfortable playing either position.It seems everyone is making a big deal about it except Adebayo. He is content on being effective wherever needed.Follow our coverage on FacebookShandel has covered the NBA since 2010, with previous stops at The Athletic and South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
