Bam Adebayo is easily one of the best defenders in the league right now. He is often overshadowed by popular names such as Rudy Gobert and Draymond Green. But make no mistake, Adebayo deserves to be in the same tier as those defensive stalwarts.
His ability to protect the rim while being able to hound defenders out on the perimeter is what garnered him recognition as a defensive player. Adebayo is also a threat on the defensive glass, and has never shied away from challenging anyone who comes into his space on the defensive end.
Bam now talked about the mindset of a defensive oriented player, while also saying that he wants to win Defensive Player of the Year this season.
