As the\u00a0Heat prepare to take on a loaded Eastern Conference\u00a0with the preseason opener Tuesday, the team had a scrimmage open to the public called the \u201cRed, White, and Pink\u201d game to bring awareness to breast cancer. After a\u00a0productive training camp for the Heat, multiple players decided to display their talents with the main two being star Bam Adebayo and rookie Pelle Larsson.<\/p>\n

While Adebayo has little to prove to anyone in showing how elite of a player he is, there is one aspect about his game that is looking to make a splash this upcoming season.\u00a0Adebayo\u2019s three-point shooting has been teased ever since the latter half of the season in 2023 where he was attempting and even making them at a consistent level.<\/p>\n

In Monday night\u2019s scrimmage, fans got to witness it as Adebayo (19 points, one rebound, two assists) attempted from deep 11 times, making five of them in which he started on a hot streak. Heat head coach\u00a0Erik Spoelstra\u00a0spoke after the scrimmage and told ClutchPoints that the confidence in which he\u2019s shooting from deep is\u00a0\u201cgrowing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI would say last year, at this time, he was already making them at a pretty high level in the practice setting and then, more work,\u201d Spoelstra said. \u201cIt\u2019s really a credit to Bam, constantly growing and evolving, and now his confidence is matching the work that he\u2019s put in about the last six weeks of the season last year were big, and going into summer, it was just another big boost to his confidence. And I think he\u2019ll be able to step right in and take those kind of shots, and it\u2019ll fit within our system. Also important, you know, for us is that all three of our centers right now, Bam, K-Love and Thomas [Bryant] can all knock down threes, and Kel\u2019el will get there too. His potential there, he\u2019s not quite at their level right now, but just give him some time.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
