Write Up
First off, Adebayo has an NBA ready body and athleticism. For the moment he is primarily a lob finisher, rebounder, and rim protector for Kentucky, but that's not a bad thing. He does show flashes of a post game, which consists of overpowering defenders for the dunk or small jump hooks 3-5 ft from the hoop. Occasionally he will step back and hit an elbow jumper, but it's not an established part of his game. Adebayo will likely be a lob finisher, rebounder, and defender in the NBA, but it's tough to project how skilled Kentucky bigs are at times due to Calipari's guard heavy offense. Overall Adebayo may be a starting level PF and his athleticism and upside will intrigue teams early in the draft.
