    Despite coming off the bench on Thursday, United States basketball’s Bam Adebayo was the leading scorer for the Americans in a 103-86 win in the Olympics.

    And for those who have followed Adebayo’s career for a while, his dominant performance for the United States in the Olympics is to be expected.

    As a class of 2016 recruit from High Point Christian (High Point, North Carolina), the now Miami Heat star was a five-star recruit and the seventh-best prospect in the nation according to Rivals. He picked Kentucky over offers from Arizona State, Arkansas, Iowa State, Kansas, Louisville, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and Wake Forest among others.

    He showed unreal explosiveness and the ability to play above the rim. Not unlike his showing on Thursday for Team USA in the Olympics.

    Check out some of these highlights of Adebayo:

    Against South Sudan, Adebayo also added seven rebounds. He was 8-of-10 from the floor including making two of his three attempts from behind the arc.
