Miami’s big man has worked on his outside shot and extending his range could help Jimmy Butler’s efficiency as well.
If you’ve watched the Heat over the last couple of seasons, then you know their biggest issue is scoring. Miami finished 25th in offensive rating in 2023. The Heat are 24th this season, basically only ahead of teams that haven’t been taken seriously all season. In fact, sinceOne of the biggest issues plaguing the Heat is their two best players—Butler and Adebayo—aren’t taken seriously as deep shooting threats, which is an anomaly among teams trying to compete at a serious level.
Of the five makes, four have come from nearly the same spot: the top of the key. It’s a specific three the 26-year-old Adebayo has worked on often over the last few summers. And it’s a look he’s given quite often during the course of a game. As Adebayo facilitates the Heat offense from the top of the three-point line, it’s common for his defender to sag off into the paint, giving Adebayo plenty of room to shoot if he wants to. And he probably needs to start doing so much more often.
But it hasn’t been enough to lift the Heat’s offense to even competent levels. And the team looks a lot better with a stretch option at the five. What Adebayo has shown is an ability to master one new shot. If he can turn that paint jumper into a top-of-the-key three, that could pay huge dividends for the Heat. Even with high-volume snipers such as Duncan Robinson andAdebayo extending his range not only would allow the team to get up more threes, it would almost certainly help Butler’s efficiency as well. If instead of rolling to the mid-paint, Adebayo can pop out to the top of the key, the Heat would become much more difficult to defend.
