The adjustment was made to keep Adebayo on Embiid as much as possible, as Adebayo fought through screens and played drop coverage as he stuck to Embiid. This was a drastic change for Adebayo, who switched more screens during the regular season than any other NBA player at 17.5 switches per 100 possessions. “My rookie year, I played more of a zone,” Adebayo said when asked about the in-series adjustment. “But other than that, just going to back my rookie year when I was zoning a lot and not switching. It kind of put me back in that position.”
