Ford ain't big on Bam:
Adebayo has only three double-doubles and four double-digit rebounding totals in 27 games – and has grabbed five or fewer boards eight times. Offensively, he is shooting just 36.1 percent on field-goal attempts other than dunks. A veteran NBA scout recently told Ford that in some ways, Adebayo reminds him less of Dwight Howard – the early, popular comparison – and more of Patric Young and Cliff Alexander.
"I just don’t know any scouts that really love this guy and feel like he’s really in conversation to be a lottery pick, given the depth of this draft,” Ford said. “And that to me should be a signal for him, because he certainly has the physical tools to be an NBA player, but he might want to come back for a year.”
He won't, of course, but I hate to see him slide like that.
