February 17, 20179 yr Yes he did. As a face up player, not a back to the basket guy. My point being, a 6-10 guy is not going to make it in the NBA as an old style center. Needs to expand his game. He cannot do so with no other post player help, or coaching that insists he dunks everything. Crazy thought . . how about an inside/out pass. You have no real idea. Harellson took 29 career 3's in 3 seasons at UK.

Bam isn't capable of being a face up guy.
February 17, 20179 yr Bam can't even defend his current position (Which is where he should be playing). The thought of him trying to defend a 4 on the perimeter is laughable. He's not that type of player and that's the bottom line.
February 17, 20179 yr And I will bet you a significant amount of money that Bam Adebayo is a first round pick. The CBS list is stupid.
February 17, 20179 yr I wouldn't trust Bam with any shot he attempted outside of the charge/block circle. The idea that he could be a 4 is completely laughable.
February 17, 20179 yr Bam hasn't done himself any favors by not being capable of staying on the court due to always being in foul trouble.
February 18, 20179 yr Needs to be more of a fierce rebounder as it is. I question his motor as much as anything. Also, Cal is using him only where he can produce. It is what it is.

Do you seriously honestly believe any other Coach would use him any different? Even Coach K would have him down lown.
February 18, 20179 yr Needs another year. We say that about a lot of these guys, but he's so raw and gifted physically that another year of developing his game and he could help himself out a lot. Sure I wouldn't pass up the millions of first round money either, but another year could make his NBA career a few years longer. Edit: Kentucky could have quite a few scholarships opened up I believe for next year. With the draft and having 3 seniors I believe. I think Cal would be smart to keep him

I think Cal would be smart to keep him At the end of the day staying college could help improve his draft position. But staying in college doesn't help improve your play more than going to the NBA would. In turn NBA that would be his full time job and gives him better of a chance to improve. So if there is room to improve he could improve more by going than not going.
February 18, 20179 yr Bam is a guy that would benefit from 2-3 years in college. I don't see him staying in the league as is but he has good athleticism and could develop down the line. He's not a stretch 4. That's one of the strangest comments I've seen on here.
February 18, 20179 yr Gets too many balls knocked away from him .... doesn't have great hands .... I agree he would benefit from another year but probly will be a late first rounder anyway .... NBA seems to take a chance on Ky guys in draft ...
