QUOTABLE
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra on Bam Adebayo's defense: “I think Bam is one of the most unique defenders in the league, can legit guard one through five and that’s not just coach speak, that’s not fan speak, media speak. That’s legit. He can anchor a very reliable defense. And he can take on different challenges and he has the IQ to be able to execute multiple schemes, where it’s not just the switching scheme that people think that he is involved with. He’s able to handle more sophisticated things than just that.”
