At 21, Adebayo is the youngest of the group. He showed his age after the season finale when he needed help from a team official to adjust the collar on his dress shirt so he looked proper for Wade’s farewell party later that night. That’s not to say Adebayo is unready for growth. He played in all 82 games, becoming the first Heat player to do so since Norris Cole in 2013-14. Other than stationary work, he has taken a recovery period since the season ended before returning home for workouts in his home state of North Carolina. There are also plans to train with Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo. Both share the same agent, Alex Saratsis. The timing and extensiveness of the sessions will depend on how long Milwaukee remains in the playoffs. “You’ve got to grow up someday,” Adebayo said. “You can’t run from it. The time is now for us, as in right now.”
