If the Pelicans are looking for a floor-spacer to pair next to Zion Williamson, Steven Adams may be submitting his name for consideration. The annual trend of big men in the NBA showcasing their 3-point range in offseason workouts is one that leads to optimistic fans expecting the most in the upcoming season.
In reality, it’s something that rarely leads to tangible results on the court once the regular season rolls around. That doesn’t stop centers from working on it as a skillset and posting those videos online, which brings it back to Adams.
On Wednesday, a video surfaced of Adams showing off his range from the 3-point line.
Apparently Steven Adams has been working on extending his range this offseason.

Will Adams actually shoot 3-pointers in games next season? He’s attempted 13 total in 588 career games so it’s unlikely. He’s only made one of those. Adams has never shown much of a shooting touch on jumpers.
Does it make it any less fun for fans to hope? Not at all.
