Miami Heat rookie Bam Adebayo is ready to tip off the 2017-18 season. And seeing as the team plays their first regular season game on Wednesday, October 18 against the Orlando Magic, he doesn’t have long to wait.
The question is, will the young buck spend the entirety of the year with the organization?
For now, the center will indeed come off the bench for the Heat. After averaging 6.2 points and 2.8 rebounds in 12.3 minutes, over six preseason matchups, head coach Erik Spoelstra feels as though the No. 14 pick has earned some tick.
