Choosing between Leaf and Adebayo simply depends on what kind of player you're looking for. While Leaf is a skilled stretch four, Adebayo is a 5 who lacks in the skill department but makes up for it with size and energy. It works for him, as he's averaging 13.3 points, 8.1 rebounds and 1.5 blocks this season and has looked even stronger during postseason play, putting up 13.6 points and 11.2 boards in hist last five games.
He's not going to be someone who a team builds around at the next level, but he can certainly make an impact as a rim-runner who crashes the glass and provides strong defense. (Getty)
