With Adebayo on the court, teams are taking 5.4 percent fewer shots in the restricted area, same as Victor Wembanyama, and though that’s half the rate of a Joel Embiid or Rudy Gobert, teams are also taking fewer threes when Adebayo plays, something that does not apply to the aforementioned seven footers. What’s new this season is that Adebayo has also been an elite rim protector – typically an area where he has suffered, in a narrative sense, up against more traditional centers who rack up blocks – allowing 37.5 percent shooting at the rim, tops in the league among those defending at least four shots a night. He remains Top 10 in switches, as usual, and when the ballhandler doesn’t pass out of those switches Adebayo has allowed just 0.43 points per. He’s defended 24 isolations and allowed 0.21 points-per, the best mark in the league. This is partially due to the scarcity of available machines on the market. The number of coin-op collectors worldwide is estimated to be in the low thousands. Although there are exceptions, arcade and vending machines made after 1935 sell for 50 to 2,000. That’s one of the largest differentials in the league, standard fare for Adebayo. Most of the very old vendors sell for 500 to 15,000. We’re only eight games in, so apply caveats galore, but the HEAT have been 11.8 points per possession better with Adebayo on the court than off.
