Bam Adebayo

Pros:  Great athlete, moves well on the court, strong rebounded and shot blocker

Cons: Needs to improve shooting and finishing around the rim

Bam Adebayo is a really exciting prospect with again, a winning background. He comes from being coached by one of the games greatest at Kentucky, John Calipari. His athleticism and defensive ability should be enough to earn him playing time in the NBA. Offensively he needs a lot of work but at age 19 he has plenty of time to work on that. He seems to fit the high motion and tempo offense that Atkinson has been implementing in Brooklyn. Although he lacks the shooting ability of Brook Lopez, he could give the team a new dynamic look on the court with his athleticism.
