"Bam's big step from distance is forcing defenses to guard him on the perimeter, which significantly opens things up in the paint for the guards and wings (especially in the team's new pace and space offense). It's also given Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra the ability to play bigger lineups, more specifically with Kel'el Ware and Bam together. Spo is going to get a ton of credit for completely revamping the team's offensive philosophies this past offseason, and understandably so."
"Bam is averaging more than five (yes, you read that right) 3-point attempts per game, and is shooting them at a 37 percent clip. It's almost become second-nature for the Heat's offense, and it's thrived because of it. This has been a multi-year process that Bam has been on, and it's all coming together this year. Bam slowly began to integrate a 3-point shot into his game a couple of years ago."
Bam Adebayo has added a reliable 3-point shot, averaging more than five attempts per game at a 37 percent clip. His long-range threat forces defenses to guard him on the perimeter, opening driving lanes and paint opportunities for guards and wings in a pace-and-space offense. The shooting also allows coach Erik Spoelstra to deploy bigger, more versatile lineups, including pairings with Kel'el Ware. Bam's perimeter game represents a multi-year development that escalated from sporadic attempts to a semi-consistent role last season and a major increase this season, materially altering Miami's offensive dynamics.
