MIAMI – With theMiami Heat in the midst of a frustrating 0-4 start to the regular season, one aspect of the team that the sports world has been pointing to as a major issue is the early play of star Bam Adebayo. As Adebayo goes through a brutal start for the Heat, point guard Davion Mitchell has advice for the captain that could solve the issues of the team.

In Miami’s 113-109 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Monday night, Adebayo recorded his second single-digit points game with eight points on shooting three of 10 from the field, missing all five three-pointers. To go along with eight rebounds, three assists, two blocks, and two steals, all eyes have been on the scoring numbers.

It’s clear that besides shots not falling, he’s still working on how to play alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo, as Mitchell points out that this is an adjustment process, stressing that he’s confident Adebayo will figure it out.

“Drive to the paint and give easy looks. Give him more easy looks. I think I got to do a better job of not letting him get lost in the game. But he also got to be intentional. He got to be more aggressive. I think that he will,” Mitchell said.

“He’s still, I think, trying to figure it out…I think him and Giannis play in the same spaces, and then when Giannis is on the floor, he’s on the floor,” Mitchell continued. “He can’t be in those spaces, but it’s something to get used to.”
