Bam Adebayo, Miami Heat's center, has emerged as an efficient long-range shooter, making a notable leap in his eighth NBA season. After having made only 23 threes in his first seven seasons, Adebayo has excelled with a three-point shooting percentage of 43.5% over the last two-plus months, including a career-high of four three-pointers in one game. His efficiency ranks him highest among centers shooting three-point attempts, showcasing how his game has evolved and how it affects defensive strategies against him as the season progresses.
"You're always going to feel good when the shot is going in. It's just routine. I work on it pregame, obviously behind the scenes. Just seeing it go in, obviously defenses got to change up the coverages a little bit."
"Adebayo began taking more threes toward the end of last season, shooting 14 of 28 (50 percent) from three-point range during his final 17 regular-season games after shooting just 1 of 14 (7.1 percent) on threes through his first 54 appearances."
