SCOUTS LOVE: Adebayo is more or less the prototype of the modern NBA center – or, perhaps more accurately, the modern NBA backup center. In the mold of Bismack Biyombo or Ian Mahimni – essentially backup centers who signed for big money in free agency last summer – Adebayo’s strengths are his offensive rebounding and his potential, given his agility, to be a disruptive defender against the ubiquitous pick-and-roll sets that dominate NBA offenses.
