The Path
Bam Adebayo is a New Jersey native but he moved to North Carolina for high school ball. After his junior season at Northside High School, Adebayo transferred to High Point Christian Academy. Adebayo was a five-star recruit across the board after a stellar senior campaign that ended with an appearance in the state championship game. The Kentucky Wildcats landed Adebayo as part of another spectacular freshman class next to Malik Monk, De’Aaron Fox, and Wenyen Gabriel. Adebayo and the Wildcats reached the Elite Eight prior to the big man signing with an agent and officially declaring for the NBA Draft.
