Haynes is roughly a career 15% shooter from 3 while Adebayo is close to 31%(double haynes). That in itself is a win. He can legitimately spread and force the opponent's shot blocker out to guard him and clear the lane for driving to the bucket.
Ah yes! My bad! Thanks!

Why would he want to leave Long Beach....lost their last 15 games in a 7-25 season!
These guys are no longer playing for the name on the front of the jersey. The name on the back is all that matters to them.
Well, the dollar signs have more to do with it than anything else.
It just means an upgrade is coming.
This is absolutely spot on. Don't ever call them student/athletes again. Every transfer means lost credits. Most of these kids will never graduate or have a marketable skill.
I personally don’t see Adebayo as a center, seems to slot more as a PF when he played us.
Nice generalization, but for many players the open transfer rules are a lifeline to be able to find a spot where they can make an impact. While the constant turnover is annoying, it also gives coaches who are effective at roster-building a chance to reload more quickly and even upgrade the overall talent.
That's where KenPom had him slotted nearly all the time he was on the floor.
I get that. But, generalizations, like stereotypes, don't materialize out of thin air. There is always a cause behind them.
He's definitely more of a stretch 4. It's not fair to compare him position-wise to Haynes, who is much more of a force in the post. Although they are both great athletes and a challenge to cover one-on-one, Adebayo can hopefully be more of a matchup nightmare for bigger defenders who have to play him on the perimeter and worry about him shooting from deep or taking them off the dribble.
