The former University of Kentucky star was one of 12 players on Team USA\u2019s roster, and Spoelstra served as an assistant coach with the squad.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSometimes I think seein\u2019 is believing,\u201d Adebayo said regarding Spoelstra\u2019s realization. \u201cAnd I think Spo seeing me \u2014 well being my development coach in the Olympics was kinda like, \u2018Man, you can shoot 3s.\u2019 Yeah, it kinda clicked a little bit, you know?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The frequency with which Adebayo shot the ball from behind the 3-point arc in Miami\u2019s preseason opener against the\u00a0Charlotte Hornets\u00a0suggests that he\u2019s serious about being a dependable floor spacer for the Heat.<\/p>\n<p>Adebayo played a mere 17 minutes in the contest, yet he attempted five 3s during his time on the floor. More than half of his shots from the floor came from deep, as he finished the game with nine field-goal attempts.<\/p>\n<p>Not only did Adebayo take a whole lot of 3s, but he knocked down multiple shots from that range. Two of Adebayo\u2019s five looks found the bottom of the net, equating to a 40.0 percent clip.<\/p>\n<p>For reference, Adebayo has never made more than two 3s in a regular-season game since he was drafted by the Heat with the final lottery pick of the 2017 NBA Draft.<\/p>\n<p>The big man also averaged just 0.6 3-point attempts per contest across 71 games played with Miami in the 2023-24 regular season. That marked a career-high for Adebayo, believe it or not.<\/p>\n<p>Heat fans should tune into Miami\u2019s preseason game against the\u00a0New Orleans Pelicans\u00a0on Sunday, if for no other reason than to find out how many 3s Adebayo will take and make.<\/p>\n<p>If Adebayo can establish himself as one of Miami\u2019s better 3-point threats in the 2024-25 campaign, folks will be hard-pressed to find many flaws in his offensive arsenal. After all, he is already great at scoring inside the arc and is a productive playmaker as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports On Friday,\u00a0Miami Heat\u00a0head coach Erik Spoelstra talked to the media and hinted that he\u2019s all for star big man Bam Adebayo letting it&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":11238,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11237","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 -
