Bam Adebayo is the starting center for the Miami Heat. Known for his lockdown defense, Adebayo is two-time All-Star and four-time member of All-NBA defensive second team.

Adebayo entered the league in 2017 when the Miami Heat selected him with the 14th overall pick in the first round. After a slow start to the career, Adebayo carved out a unique gameplay that makes him a defensive juggernaut in the NBA, who excels in guarding all five positions on the floor.

Adebayo possesses an innate ability to anticipate where the offensive drive will happen, and consistently positions himself in the driver's path where he stands as an absolute brick wall. His lateral quickness is quite surprising for a center, and aids him greatly in his defense.

Adebayo's mastery of zone defense has been a cornerstone of Miami's formidable defensive schemes, meticulously crafted by the brilliant mind of Coach Erik Spoelstra. Additionally, he's a stellar rim protector, as exemplified by his now-iconic game-winning block on Jayson Tatum in the 2020 NBA Eastern Conference Finals.

Adebayo's defensive prowess is unrivaled, making him one of the best in the league. On the offensive end, he has a great jump shot, which is a valuable asset for a center. He is lethal in pick and roll situations.

Adebayo's well-rounded game makes him a force to be reckoned with on both ends of the court. He has been hailed as the 'Robin' to Jimmy Butler's 'Batman,' a dynamic duo that propelled Miami to two NBA Finals appearances in 2020 and 2023.
