Bam Adebayo Offers Take on Which Miami Heat Player Stood Out Most in Offseason Workouts

Miami Heat big man Bam Adebayo is expected to take a major leap this season, but he’s not the only Heat youngster that fans should be keeping an eye on.

According to Adebayo himself, the Heat player that stood out the most during offseason workouts was Kendrick Nunn.

Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald recounted exactly what Adebayo said of Nunn during a meet-and-greet on Tuesday:

“Adebayo pointed to guard Kendrick Nunn as a player who has ‘really stood out’ in Heat offseason workouts. ‘He’s still progressing and just getting better as the days go by,’ Adebayo said of Nunn.”

Nunn standing out this offseason shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone who watched him play for the Heat in Summer League games.

In four games, Nunn averaged 21.0 points, 6.3 assists, and 5.0 rebounds. As fans know, Summer League stardom is no guarantee of regular season success, but it does seem as though Nunn should be taken very seriously heading into his first season with the team.

As a shooting guard, he will likely be competing primarily with veteran Dion Waiters and rookie Tyler Herro for playing time.

Though he will likely have to fight for his minutes early on in his career, he is a definite candidate to be the Heat’s latest diamond in the rough find.
