Jeff Teague<\/a> has had some hot takes in the last year or so on his Club 520 Podcast. Sometimes he is right, sometimes he is wrong. What people cannot take away is that he is not afraid to make bold takes. And fans love commenting on them. In the latest episode of his podcast, the guys talked about Bam Adebayo<\/a> and how much he can improve. Teague said Adebayo could be one of the best players in the league.<\/p>\n

Former All-Star Believes Adebayo Can Make a Giannis-Like Leap<\/h2>\n

The whole conversation started when the guys compared Bam and Evan Mobley<\/a>. Speaking about the two, Teague believed that Mobley has reached his ceiling, while Bam can improve a lot more. He said:<\/p>\n

\u201cBam can do more. I think that\u2019s probably the best we are going to see of Evan Mobley. He can probably become a better shooter. But Bam, like his body type, he doesn\u2019t have a Giannis build. Like the only step he could take is like Giannis. He can become that physically imposing and just run people over and go dunk. But his aggressiveness and the way he plays just don\u2019t mirror Giannis. He doesn\u2019t move as fluidly as Giannis.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
