The Atlanta Hawks don’t need to be told.
Some teams need a little time to learn how to best deal with Bam Adebayo, which is often to simply not deal with him at all. The Hawks play the HEAT four times a year, every year. They know. Trae Young knows. There’s a reason Young, who was No. 11 in the league this year with 593 total isolations, has only isolated Adebayo 12 times in the past three seasons.
The Miami HEAT don’t need to be told, either.
Some teams still adhere to an antiquated blueprint for how best to deal with Young.
