This former Los Angeles Laker and current New York Knicks star could be an ideal addition to the Miami Heat roster.

While most teams have built their rosters around the Golden State Warriors model of one player in the paint and four shooters on the perimeter, the last two NBA champions have shown that what truly matters right now and what has mattered for a very long time before the anomaly that is Steph Curry is a dominant inside out game.

In Nikola Jokić, the NBA has one of the more dominant big men in the paint since the peak of Shaquille O’Neal.

In Giannis Antetokounmpo, you have a player capable of not only bullying you in the paint but also running at you with a head of steam and posterizing you on a nightly basis.

In Bam Adebayo, the Miami Heat have a very good center who excels at getting to work down low, grabbing rebounds, and assisting his fellow teammates on the perimeter with his excellent passing out of the post.

What is better than one big man who excels at getting to work down low, grabbing rebounds, and assisting his fellow teammates on the perimeter with his excellent passing?

Two big men that excel at getting to work down low, grabbing rebounds, and assisting his fellow teammates on the perimeter with his excellent passing.

In Bam Adebayo and Julius Randle, the Heat would have a modern-day version of Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph. Two players who combined together, can bully the bullies.
