Bam Adebayo: Struggles from free throw line in preseason opener

While Adebayo failed to register a rebound, block, assist or steal, the 14th
pick in the 2017 draft got to the line eight times, though he converted just one
of those attempts. Adebayo wasn’t a great free throw shooter by any means at
Kentucky, but he hit better than 65 percent of his attempts — a poor but
passable number for a young big man. What Adebayo’s role will be during the
regular season remains to be seen, but he’s unlikely to be a major contributor
right away on one of the deepest rosters in the East.
