Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said Bam Adebayo's ability shoot the 3-point shot will only help with other aspects of the game.
Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said Friday he is pleased with the progress Bam Adebayo has made in shooting the corner 3-point shot.
It is Spoelstra's belief with teams having to defend Adebayo on the perimeter and fearing the long-distance shot, it affects spacing that helps movement for other players. "It's the versatility that's going to help our offense. Him being able to stretch out to the three and space the floor helps us. His confidence has grown you know obviously shooting the 3," Spoelstra said. "And also the other aspects of his game are still just as important. That's what happens as you grow. You take on more responsibilities that more is expected. I really like the spacing. I like him taking those shots with confidence.
Spoelstra also said despite Adebayo being able to shoot from long distance, he still has to concentrate on the rest of his game. "Like I said, all the other stuff, being rugged and getting to the rim, getting to the free throw line are equally as important," Spoelstra said.Scott Salomon joined FanNation on Sports Illustrated in April 2024 covering breaking news and analysis for the Miami Dolphins channel.
