Heat Forward\/Center Bam Adebayo has once again become a big talking point around NBA circles. This time though it is not as positive as it typically is. Adebayo is in the midst of a horrible offensive slump, and it is severely limiting his impact on the game. <\/p>\n
Adebayo is currently shooting his worst field goal percentage of his career, partially due to his increased attempts from three, but also because he just can not reliably make shots right now. He is shooting a career worst 49.8% from 2 point range and only 31.7% from behind the arc. Adebayo is having his worst shooting season by far even with effective field goal percentage, which is also below 50% at 49.2%. These numbers are just not good enough for someone that is supposed to be the leader of your team.<\/p>\n
His recent offensive stretch has given rise to the questioning of his abilities and former NBA champion, and All-Star Jeff Teague has weighed in. On the Club 520 podcast Teague has called Adebayo a \u201cgood complementary piece but not a star\u201d and with recent results it is hard to argue against it. He simply has not been playing at the level that one would expect a star to play at. <\/p>\n

\u201cBam don\u2019t really be killing. He\u2019s just a good player. He\u2019s not a star. He\u2019s a good complimentary piece. He\u2019s still a quality player, fringe All Star. I think if they get Ja Morant some new blood in\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/Gp3CfxcT3O<\/a><\/p>\n
