With the 2022-2023 Heat season now firmly in the rearview mirror and the sting of the NBA Finals loss dulled by the passage of time, I wanted to begin putting together grades for every player to have suited up for the Heat this past year. Considering how wildly different the regular season and postseason went for the team, each player will receive a regular season grade, a playoff grade, and a composite.
First, let’s look at the centers:
Bam Adebayo
Regular Season Grade: A
Playoff Grade: A-
Overall Grade: A-
While the 2022-2023 Heat regular season was more often than not a slog, the shining bright spot of the team was the ascendent Adebayo.
