Edrice \"Bam\" Adebayo is a small town kid with big time potential. The 6'10\" 260 pound power forward hails from the small, eastern North Carolina community of Pinetown. After attending Northside High School (NCHSAA) for three years of his high school career, Bam transferred to High Point Christian Academy for his senior year. AT HPCA Bam went on to average 18.9 ppg while shooting 64% from the field and grabbing 13 rebounds while leading his team to a 25-6 record. During his time in the #HoopState, Adebayo was named a McDonald's All-American, Jordan Brand Classic selection, 2015 Under Armour Elite 24 MVP, USA Junior National Select Team, North Carolina AP Player of the Year, and Gatorade North Carolina Player of the Year. Bam draws a lot of comparisons to NBA vet Dwight Howard but in truth the comparisons are strictly physical. Howard was measured at 6'11\" and 243 pounds in high school which is very similar to Adebayo who currently sits at 6'10\" and 260 pounds.<\/p>\n
