I see what you did there. Pun intended because he's from Finland.

Great read

A story from John Calipari about Bam Adebayo, before Kentucky played Auburn in mid-January: The Wildcats coach had gathered his team and apparently had addressed, multiple times, the progress the freshman big man had made. Calipari insisted he wasn’t taking digs at the rest of the roster. But he says he asked the group one question: Who’s the hardest worker in the gym?

“They all pointed to Bam,” Calipari said. “And I said, ‘There you go. My point is made.’ That is why he is making strides that are just crazy.”

Hell he might have it a tad easier in the NBA since nobody will show him that much respect.

Fr real, I think he'll have an easier time scoring in pre-season games because the talent we'll put around him will free him up, he's currently the main focus of every defense he meets and he ain't got the ideal spacing around him.

Looking to see DSJ show some consistency. The SL is a good stage for his skill set.

Donovan Mitchell is so good. I was so mad that Jazz snatched him away from us, easily was a Top 10 talent in the draft.

Thankfully Bam has also been great.

counting the minutes for tonight's game against Dallas, were both 2-0. Unfortunately our guard play is terrible so DSJ is going to kill our butts. Hopefully Bam returns the favor on the forward side of the ball.

With how deep our backcourt is we really needed Bam regardless

Matt is missing wide open looks.

I'm just watching for Bam and Okaro. The rest of the team is trash

He's fighting for a spot on the skyforce if that
