Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro are two of the longest tenured Miami Heat players on the roster. But even Adebayo and Herro are going through an adjustment period after the departure of Jimmy Butler.

Bam Adebayo has been in the NBA since 2017, and he has spent his entire career with the Heat. He played his college basketball at Kentucky, and he was taken by Miami with the 14th overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft. Adebayo has been impressive throughout his career and he continues to be a key piece to this Heat team.

“He’s been a monster for us,” coach Erik Spoelstra said. “And he’s doing it all across the board — his leadership, his voice. He’s playing big minutes. He’s doing it on both ends. He’s scoring for us. He’s facilitating. He’s handling. He’s organizing our offense, and then he’s end of offense for us.” And, Spoelstra said, leading at a time of need.
