Bam Adebayo and the challenges from beyond the arc
Despite the jokes, Bam Adebayo has shown improvement in his three-point shooting this season under Erik Spoelstra.
He averages 4.5 three-point attempts per game, his personal best, though his shooting percentage remains at 32.0%.
Compared to A’ja Wilson, who has a 36.5% success rate from the same distance, Frazier’s humorous comments highlight a real area for improvement for the Heat star.
Still, Adebayo remains a key pillar of the team’s offensive and defensive structure, with an impact that goes far beyond three-point shooting.
